DB9 Front Bumper Removal

[FatFrank]

Can anyone back across the pond give me a few pointers on removing my DB9 front bumper cover? I have been looking to change my front grill but I can not get to the lower fixings for the two outermost vertical grill supports on the grill carrier. The bottom fixing seems completely sandwiched between the grill carrier and the actual bumper beam, but I figure that If I can get the bumper cover off then I should be able to drop the whole grill carrier out.

Some instructions or image showing where all the fixings are would be greatly appreciatted. Otherwise I'm likely to damage something expensive - that's what normally happens with me with this sort of thing!

Thanks SLacKer, top job and much appreciated

I have been keeping my eye open for a workshop manual, but I have only seen them for sale up to 2008MY. Mine is a 2009.

Now, as soon as I can drag myself away from the women's Beach Volleyball I'll get on with the bumper!
