if you can get your grill out, you can just open the bonnet with you hands, feel unter the bonnet you'll feel a pin on the left side (when you are in front of the car) push it to the right and open.

simple. or else trash the grill;)

Easier way, jack up the front end of car and try to reach the bonnet release and pull to open it :D
