Removing lower grille

07 Vantage. I need to remove the lower front grille for a project. Do I have to remove the front bumper or is there an easier way to get it out?

era2076 is on a distinguished road
I'm not sure there is room to get the screws removed. The oil cooler is right there. Here the oil cooler is pushed back .500. The brake ducts don't touch, but are right against the grill. I would guess <= .100 clearance from grill to duct face. With the oil cooler brought forward I think it is going to cause major trouble.

you should be able to remove it if the belly pan is removed first... Mine is an 09 and I am pretty sure I didn't have anything in the way...
