Front bumper lower center grill remove/replace 2012 AMG sport package

Hit something that broke the plastic grill. New one on the way, can this be replaced without removing the front bumper? It appears to be attached entirely with integrated clips.
thanks in advance.

For a 2012 S550, sold the S430 in 2015 and missed it, so bought a newer one.
