Hood latch problem- cant open hood
I need your help.
So, a couple weekends ago i changed my timing belt. A couple days ago, I tried to open my hood, and I realized I forgot to connect my hood latch cable. So now, after trying to get help on the 'zine, and the local euro shop, I need serious help!
Here is the latch i need to release:
and here's a picture of the latch from my bentley-
Please help me!

I have the grill out right now, the problem is that there are two latches that need to be released, the first one (the circled one in the pic) releases by pulling to the side, and that one is behind the front clip, and down ~2", then the next one is easy, thats the one that sticks out of the grill.
A coat hanger may work... i'm starting to think i'll have to bend something to get it out.

oh yeah! maybe, i'll go check that out now.
Can anyone get me a picture of the hood latch? I can see two bolts, but there has to be more. I just want to make sure before I start taking things off.
