Just wanted to let future DIYers who are thinking of tackling this job that it's possible to do without fully removing the front bumper. All I needed to do was remove the push rivets in the engine bay, and then the push rivets and two screws in each front wheel wells. The bumper can then pop out from the radiator support and from under the headlights to gain some clearance from the top. With some fenagling, you can easily get a hand and a screwdriver of your choice to remove the two screws that secure the A mark. Was quite easy - took maybe 30 minutes of futzing around.
Do take note that the six central push rivets on the top of the bumper cover have metal washers sandwiched between the cover and the chassis mounting point. Make sure not to let these fall out (ask me how I know) as they are not secured by anything other than the rivet. I slid them out and pocketed them for safe keeping until reassembly.
