make sure the grill is not interfering with the key, you can just pull this off if it is in the way

can you get it to pop? if so you should be able to get a ratchet spanner in there to undo the 2 bolts that hold the stricker to the bonnet.

In that case Stu you will probably have to try to unbolt the 8mm's on the latch and use some long nose pliers to twist it open! pop the grill out too mate.
