Hi all,

first time ive posted in here! Anyway, my friend has an 02 plate mk2 punto and the bonnet cable has snapped right at the end near the bonnet catch.

Has anyone got any good tips for opening the bonnet? Ive looked underneath and have come up with 2 ideas.

1) take the radiator out from the bottom (but i rather not as the car is needed and i only have tonight to get it done!)

2) try getting the front bumper off (which again will be hard and even then i'll have to tug it as i cant get to the bolts behind the front lip of the bonnet.


Fitting the cable will be easy, so i dont need any links taking me to this vvvvv

So, any good ideas? quick and as easy as possible?
