I assume you've found it after a month of searching, but
for the benefit of others if it's the release handle that you're after then it's high up on the outside edge of the driver's footwell.

Once it's popped, the bonnet (US=hood) just lifts without any safety catches from the windscreen side.

Hi there, remember the bonnet opens back to front so you need to lift it from the windscreen side, hope this helps.
