Seems to me it works either way. From a novices point of view, bumper last, so you have a clear shot at the grille. Just be careful to not hit the bottom of that grille with the bumper. Two people is best. Three even better.

Definitely want to put your bumper on last. I just replaced my front bumper and I made the mistake of putting it on first before the grille and had to take it back off.
