Can you take a gsi grill out without taking the bumper off?

had the same trouble on mine i had to jack front of car up then reach the spring clip thingy with a screwdriver and pop it open, if not take your grill out gives you loads more room

Yeah, me & my dad tried it mate. I was pulling the cable with pliers & he was pushing down on the bonnet where the catch is.

I fitted a new bonnet cable today because i snapped my old one.

Closed the bonnet & now it wont open :mad::lol::(.

How will i get it open? Tried to get my arm under the car but no luck. Tried putting pressure on the bonnet, no luck & i've tried pulling the cable with a pair of pliars but no luck.

HELP please?
