Where have all the badges gone?

Among a few other jobs on the 75 this weekend I had a look at the bolts securing the front headlight surround/ grille surround/ bumper to the slam panel, and also some YouTube videos showing how to remove the bumper.

As I suspected the lower fixings and the screws in the wheel arch are likely to give problems as they've never been removed and live in a hostile environment.

So my question is this. If I just remove the 10 10mm bolts at the top, i.e. those above the grille, am I likely to be able to be able to pull the grille far enough forward to get a hand behind it to secure the badge with whatever backing plate/ nut it uses?
