Cutting notches in porcelain floor tiles

I need to cut a notch roughly 100mm x 25mm on the edge of a glazed porcelain floor tile. What would be the best way to do this without chipping the glaze.

Cut small fingers with a wet tile saw or

cut the 25mm slots with a wet tile cutter then run a diamond blade in a grinder along the 100mm length?

If I did use a 4 1/2 blade in a grinder any tips for getting it straight?

cheers
 
Score the shape with a dry cutter then use a wet cutter to cut slots, less chance of chipping, then use nippers to get rid of waste
 
As above..... 2 wet cuts and a snap - job done. If you're not too confident with nibblers then yes, several cuts,
and just nibble them off, making sure to score all lines first
