Hood Still No Open :( -
Well I went to a body shop this morning. And after they had my car for nearly 2 hours, even they couldn't get it open. So I'm back to square 1.
Apparently the cable is no longer attached to the passenger side latch, as it doesn't do anything when I pull the release from inside the car. Is there anyway I can even get to this damn latch if I remove the bumper?
Thanks Again Guys...

Like I said before..read the "Please Help Me" thread below.
When you say Passenger side..is that the LEFT side or the RIGHT side while looking forward?
Keep me informed and I'll try and walk you through this...I just fixed mine for the very same problem as you recall.

Okay..so you have the LHD..Hard to tell where everyone is from
You will have to take the lower panel off in the front..about 19 torx head screws..Now pop the hood release, so the driver's side is unlatched....then with a long arm while the right side of the car is jacked up and propped with a jack stand..reach up to the very top to the undeside of the latch ( you'll need a bright flashlight to see up there)..There is a little hangy down you can feel in the center of the latch..Push it with all your strength to the left..this sholuld release the hood. (I hope this works, good luck)
