I opt for the less risky method.

I was having the same dillema.. I just ended up pushing really hard and almost by accident the one side of the lower grill popped inwards.. from there once I got that one side started it was easy to work across the grill to the other side popping the tabs on it. I didn't take off the bumper either, I stuck my hand down through the upper grill opening and pushed from the back/pulled from the front to pop the new grill back in.

I'm scurrred to take off the bumper!

Nothing to be scurred about. I was scurred too for my first time, but I just noted down where all the pieces went and it was a breeze. By the 2nd or 3rd time you will be able to remember where everything goes without any help.
