AMG GTS front grill replacement

Hi
I was wondering if any one has the parts diagram for the GTS front grill pieces.
A couple of front grill pieces on my car were damaged and I am considering replacing them with CF versions but want to know if I have to remove the front bumper to replace the grill pieces .
Also thinking about adding the side skirts on to the car from the aerodynamics package which I don't have, anyone performed this upgrade on their car and was it easy bolt on?
Thanks

The fin and star assembly is made of 3 pieces (check AHI recent post where he repainted them) and that assembly can be taken out easily. the rest of the grill I am not sure.

I am also looking at side skirts but not sure what to do with matte black.

Also that GTR grille could be worth waiting for if interested.

I have thought about awaiting for the GTR grill but likely will not be available for another 12 months . Driving around with a cracked grill on such a beautiful car would be criminal .
Thanks for the ideas .

GTR grill is different shaped. It won't fit the GTS opening. Wonder if someone would make an aftermarket?
