you could de-badge it or wash/detail it.

very easy, get a old credit card, or similar, pour hot, but not quite boiling water on the badge, or heat it up witha hairdryer a little, then slide the card in, gently prise it off
then rub off the glue "takes a while" and poilsh it
do not use sharp implements, or you will scratch it and it'll rust, ive seen fool's do this, they shouldn't be allowed near a car.

and as for the grill..yeh its pretty easy..just need the blade from a hacksaw..or if u have someone thats goood with an electric saw/jigsaw then it takes 2 seconds..just need to bascially cut it out at the 3 points where it joins the bumper..then smooth off the recess's with a file then sandpaper..then get some mesh n cable tie/screw it on..thats what i did and looks well nice:
