Removing R60 S grill to install a badge

Can someone confirm how to remove the front grill on the S? I need to get behind it to bolt on a badge. I see that there are 4 bolts on the plate on top, but am not sure what to do next, as it seems I may be missing some tabs or other bolts.

I don't want to break anything!!

You pull from the bottom right corner towards you. There are 8 or so clips or so holding the bottom part. Getting the clips back is more of a chore. It requires a bit of oomph. Had to take grille off when I did my lights.

I was afraid of breaking something, to. Ended up using a GoBadges holder instead. Velcro I can handle.

Thanks. Do you pull towards the front of the car? I thought I read someone said to pull straight up and that didn't seem to make sense.

Just need to be sure.
