I've taken photos under the car, that's me in the second one :O

How do I unclip those clips circled? They will not come out! Also on either side there is a large clip holding it to the car, do I unclip those?

on the second picture, get a flat bladed screwdriver and insert it between the ring and the clip from the right hand side. gently pull the screwdriver towards you (right to left) levering the clip to the right. the big clips also need to come out.

Okay I managed to force those bottom clips out, are there any more higher up?

Should I rip the grill out so I can get my hand in there?

might be easier to use these sticky pads incase you need it off again:
