Trying to find you a plastic "thingy" without much luck.
I'll have another search tomorrow.
Sorry about this.

My old car used to do that sometimes. If you can manage to get the clips at the top of the grille off you can just about reach your arm through and feel the cable underneath the slam panel. Give it a pull until it releases the passenger side catch.

Have you tried getting someone in the car pulling the handle while you lift the bonnet?
