did that had 3 screws undid them but that leads to take the whole bumper off not just the grill well it does on my calais

 

[crazy2009]

i wonder if its different on other models in the vz range

I don't think the Calais grille is any different in its method of retention to the other variants. It should be held in by three screws along the top and three lugs on the bottom which are a firm fit into slots in the bumper. It definitely isn't part of the whole bumper assembly as I'm sure I've seen it listed as a separate part.

If I'm right, you undo the screws then pull the grille up firmly. Those tabs can sometimes be a very firm fit.

Gees, one bloody screw. It was three on the VY's. I wonder how much they saved per car with that change?

Anyway, to the OP, dijm8's post should answer all your questions. One screw and yank it.
