I think it just 'pops' out dude.

Open the bonnet then gently prise it off. I stand to be corrected though. I only did it once to remove the bumper and I can't remember if there are any torx screws. Pretty sure there isnt though.

I normally leave the grill attached. If I really need to remove the grill I just get a massive screw drivers and bend the flaps out of the way and pull out of the holes!

Thanks mate. Just had a snoop on youtube and found a video anyway! Decided to go for the black grill on silver car! Like the look of it.
