Removing R badge from front grille without removing bumper

Removing R badge from front grille without removing bumper
Does anyone know if it's possible on a 2023 MY? How is it attached? I know there's a bracket and a sticker/adhesive - it's the bracket I'd like to remove entirely.
Trying to make the car "clean" with no badging except black Jaguar lettering + leaper on the trunk, F-Type on the rear (in black), and growler on the front grille.

Looks like effort needed

Lazy’d out of the idea basically.
It is literally the only remaining “chrome” on my car lol. 16 R Coupe.
Maybe from up top if plastics are removed?
One day I’ll get to it… gotta finish the Harley build first…
Let me know if you find an easy way to do it.

Appears to be two torx screws. As for getting to them? Thats the tricky part, I was looking at removing mine, then grew bored of the idea after looking for potential access points.

Do you know what size torx? Something like this should be able to get to it I think:

There is already an entire thread on this question, start here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...1/#post1416398
Started off as a question about removing the grille S badge but then branched off into removing the R badge, but AFAICT the mounting plates and method are pretty much identical so removal would be the same.
Some debate over whether the only way is to remove the front bumper from the car and some reckon it can be done without doing so.
The second to last post in that thread, post #31 here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...1/#post2420590 claims that you can unbolt the badge after removing the LHS headlight, and I don't doubt that claim. I have removed both headlights (to replace the globes) and it's not difficult.

Yeah I saw that threads (and several others), but none of the solutions were simple enough for just a debadge imo. Ill give the above tool a shot and report back. Keep in mind mine is a '23, I believe the headlights on the facelift are slightly more difficult to access.

I had R Dynamic badge on my grill, same situation, I got a cordless drill and small 5mm bit, drilled loads of small holes through badge,( didn't want to keep badge anyway) then took a small pointed pliers and just worked small pieces of the badge till it all was apart and broke away. Did same with side grill vents as they had badge on them also.
