Thank you very much for help.
Guess I would then buy proper tool and remove It.
I will not care on trims on the old grill 🤣.
Will post update after I finish.
Just an idea: There is a youtube channel called OZ Sabra. I think he is also from Croatia like yourself, so fellow counryman :) Anyway, he seems to be dealing with dismantling Ford vehicles and posting some of his work as a side on youtube to help folks do repairs on their own cars. He also have some used part to sell of course.

So maybe you can get in touch with him, he probably took off grills before, can give you some tips and instructions. Also if you would be ok with byuing used, he may be selling grills too, who knows. Or at least give you part numbers.
 
Thank you all for your help.
I did It in 15minutes of slowly unclipping one by one clip with pry tool.
They are very tight and some of them needed unclipping with pry tool.

Looks nice, thanks for posting the results!

MAybe stupid question but where does the license plate go? I thought the front grill has that plastic rectangle piece where you would insert the screws, but there is no such piece on this new front grill! Looks very clean though 😄
 
It looks way better without front license plate 🙈.
If you zoom in on picture you will see at the bottom two small circles where screws come for license plate holder.
As looking to the picture It is definitely calling for some front lip in future.
Oh, did not notice that! But yeah looks much better without the license plate :D
