The mounts for the center reflector poke through the clips that you are showing in your second picture.

Gently pry each clips open, and push each mount out, one at a time. When all are released, pry the reflector from outside.

I hear you. It was redesigned for the 964 with 3 Phillips heads from the top.

Good luck with the project.

Nice that you have the bumper off so you can access the clips. Even so, the reflector can be really hard to remove without breaking it. At least yours is already broken.

yeah when i saw your first pic i thought ouch , that strip with the black lettering is rare and spendy.

i removed mine to replace the black strip between the bumper and body, i have never been so anxious in my life as i painstakingly removed each clip.

i took the muffler off and heat shield to make things easier, but its still a painful exercise.
