nah the grill just pulls out the lower section held in by clips shown in pic below:

Then you have to unbolt the top piece on the hood there are a few bolts maybe 3 or 4 and just pull that down and towards you and it comes out very easy job to change the grill over.

Alright, I am only replacing the grill and keeping the chrome trim. Does that mean I basically open the hood and just unclip the grill right away aka. push it in and it should unclip? Because I am not replacing the top chrome trim so i shouldnt be worried about any bolts am i correct? Thanks a lot for all the help! =]

no problem, yeah that's about all you need to do then, just be a bit careful with the center clips where the ac stickers and stuff are
also when you're pulling the old grill out start from one side but put like a cloth or towel down to stop the grill from slipping back in to the clips

I am sorry there is just one thing confusing me. I understood that the grill unclips from the sides and the bottom (which i can see in the photo the white clips) but, I dont see any clips at the AC sticker area at the top. Please clarify if you can thanks =]

I tried to attempt this and failed miserably to remove the grille do I pull it towards me or do I push it towards the car? Because in the tutorial for the w204 they push it in
