If you pull off the top plastic cowling you can see where the key barrel joins to the latch mechanism... With the grille removed, you can just use your fingers to open the latch.

If you do a custom grill perhaps you can fabcate some cable system that relocates the barrel to inside the airdam or under the front bar.

Hey, Easiest way with no damage!

take out headlight, (remove top galvanised screw and unclip 2 clips as per manual) and frees up space to access front bar. find the clip that is attatched to the fog lite facia and flex in order to release it from the rear. once ones off the rest all pop off starting with the top colour coded section, then it all falls apart from there. to put back on just pop one in and bash with soft object (hand) firm but taking care and it will pop back on!

good luck. - TIP: for people if you do not have fog lights, the hole in radiator mount there for if you did have them, makes for good cold air induction access hole. just pop a few holes in front of the flush non fog lighted facia where the groves are and bobs your uncle!
