Once you've undone the screws, theirs about four clips on the bottom of the grill you might need a flat screw driver to help them out. Just take ya time tho mate.

Look at the pic below and apart from the two screw holes you will see 4 clips. Each of these clips fits into a slot and latches into place. To undo them you need to press the clips down. For each clip there is a rectangular hole to put a flathead screwdriver into to release them. I put electrical tape over the screwdriver to protect the plastic clips.

You need to firmly pull each of these clips out of their slots. Once they are all out you can get access to the lower inside part of the grille. This will enable you to pull upwards on the lower clips to remove the grille completely. If I remember right there are 4 or 5 lower clips.
