How do you remove the front lower grille?

Any ideas? The top one just pulls out however the bottom one seems to be part of the bumper or at least very strongly attached.

At your peril! There are instances on this website of the lower grill having fallen out and subsequently being run over because the clips don't work properly when the grill is replaced.

Just what Jurvo said.It helps more if you take out the top grill first.
