How do I get to the backside of the Porsche crest?

I have a 2006 Cayenne and I purchased a chrome and black crest to replace the Gold stock one. I removed all the bolts on the panel in the picture thinking I could remove the panel to get to the two nuts on the backside of the crest mounted to the top of the nose piece. Not so lucky. Can anyone help me? How do I get to the two nuts on the crest?

Thanks,
Duane

From what I have read before, the official way is to completely remove the front bumper to replace the crest. I know this is a huge pain for a small detail. When I found out, I stopped considering swapping out my gold crest for a silver one.

With that said, someone here might have a shortcut where you may only have to remove some of the screws before you can bend back that area of the bumper without damaging it. Unfortunately, I do not have any first hand experience.

Found the answer and it took 5 min without pulling the bumper.

Cool - I am glad you found your shortcut. Looks like a pretty good replica.
