Has anyone found a way to open the bonnet without too much damage occurring?

I've had a quick look today and at the moment I suspect the way in is behind the front VW badge, hopefully I can release it without damage!

I've seen a couple of plastic screws at the front along the lock panel, hopefully I can flip them out and the grille might come off, unless there is another way?

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Have done these before by breaking the vw badge. Then you can get to the torx 30 screws. Undo them pull the screws out pull the bonnet up it will still be connected by the bonnet wiring latch switch so come up slowly. Disconnect the plug . Its most likely the latch has gone duff. Really common lack of lube and daft 20000 mile services dont help. Oh and buy a new badge.

the one/s that give me the most grief are pretty much any fiesta built in the last 12 years or so,evens bet it either struggles to open or wont shut when you do.never had any probs with it tho when you ask the owner,when you ask the last time they actually opened it however it all goes quiet....
