Default Bonnet wont open

My bonnet wont open, i've tried the usual things, spraying mechanism with WD40 through grill, leaving for an hour, getting someone to push down on bonnet when pulling release etc but it still wont open.

Can the grill be removed without damaging it with the bonnet closed?

Any advice from someone who's had this problem would be appreciated, the cars an MY 00 classic

thanks

If anyone has any tips please could you PM the OP and not post them here in case the info gets into the wrong hands?

Thanks
