Any help would be appreciated.

I dropped the bumper cover to remove mine. There are several Phillip head screws that detach the grill as we as the many press clips.

Thanks, I'll try to decipher the pic . Did you work from the top down? ie from under the bonnet, above the grill?

Start from the top where the hood meets. Pop off all the cover panels from L side to R side.
Remove all the screws holding the bumper cover on top.
Then move to the fender wells. Remove the screws and fasteners. One is under the felt liner.
After that you can pull out the section under the head light. It simply pulls right off. Start at the tip by the well and begin pulling. It will make a popping sound as separates. This is normal.
Then go under the car and begin removing screws and fasteners. Once you've got all the attachment points loose you can pull it forward and let the entire bumper assembly rest on the electronic light harnesses. This will be more than enough room to make the swap. Assemble opposite of tear down.
