Front trapezoid Grille

Anyone know how to remove the big front center grille?

I have the parking sensors by the way.

I was tugging on it and it seemed like it's just snapped in but I don't want to break anything just by pulling.
It's cold out.. plastic is brittle..

It does clip in, but you'd want to be a little bit firm yet gentle as the plastic doesn't like that too much especially when its cold.

No pics?

I was followed the link and went through a couple more there and found a bumper on ebay for sale and tried to look at the mount tabs but it's not very useful.
