HI hope some one can help I've got a Corrado 94 VR6 and the hood or bonnet release cable has snapped. i have manged to release the grill. so was able to get hold of the cable and open the near side. but i'm still unable to see any way of opening the off side? i have tried getting a hook between the light and the bonnet but cant seam to get on to anything that feels right? will i need to smash the light? ( i don't want to ) thanks
