Hi Steve,
Found this thread on jaguarforums.com which might help.

Hope that helps a bit.
Here's a link to the service repair manual for the X351 2010-2012 if you don't already have one.

Feel free to download :)
You haven't said what year your car is but I have a manual for 2014 as well if that helps.
Good luck and take care.

Had a go to replace lower grill, there are lots of bolts that hold the plastic cover and 4 wind deflectors in place, most came undone ok but the front 5 were just spinning.I had to grind off the heads.After that the grill is held in place with lugs,took me about 3 hours
