Search. There is a how-to.
Also: post a photo of the grill. Are you sure you have the correct one?

Are you trying to put a sports grille on a non sports bumper?

Wrong grill. Will not fit the bumper.
Your mates may be tucked down, but it will look odd and sit at the wrong angle.

A lot of the aftermarket grilles (non Peugeot) use metal clasps to hold the grille in place and can easily be fitted wihout removing the bumper. Genuine items, in my experience, require removal of the bumper.
Last one I had was from FK Auto and went on in minutes.. but rusted to fook shortly after, so scored a stainless one. Teach me for being a cheapskate!!

Seemings you've got to remove the bumper, I'd upgrade and go for the sports one, looks miles better! It should fit on with minimal hassle, the only downside is the arches, which are the wrong size for the sports bumper. What I did was cable tie them in place, it seems to be the easiest thing to to with it, you can't see it and doesn't affect it (Providing your arches don't come loose and rub on the wheels).

Do you have a picture of how you fitted it with cable ties? Thanks

No what everyone is saying is buy a sport bumper so that the grille fits inside it, and that u don't news sports wigs at arche linking as u can stretch them to make them fit with use of cable ties, I did this to mine 4 years ago and still holding strong!!!
