On my Mk4 the front grilles pulled out, they have clips in the top and bottom which will need to be unclipped either from the back of the bumper or get your fingers between the front of the grille and bumper. Mine was low and couldn't reach behind, and the finger thing worked, but bent the top of the grille slightly when it was pulled out...Depending on the clips, they may break, they're only thin...
You can get the towing eye through the grill as well, but again bends it slightly...
