i understand how little draw the solinoid would take just was curious how a manufacturer could leave themselves so open , lets say if somebody disconnected the battery to do a job and closed the bonnet ! talk about screwed ! 
i just think a simple cable would have been more effective and cost efficient

Remember doing something like this on a previous car.
Get in via passenger door,fold down rear seat,get parcel shelf out.
May need lift part of boot carpet.
Need torch and screwdriver. You can see there is a release mechanism where boot latch is. Operate with screwdriver to release it.

I thought the bonnet release was mechanical?

Unless yours is different jen ,
But you pull a lever in my car but its not acutally operating a cable , its just a switch . if you open you bonnet and examine the mechanism its not cable operated , theres a solinoid there so you can see the contacts of the solinoid on both bonnet and body of car

I would get my angle grinder out cut a hole in the bonnet pop the catch. then put a bonnet scoop in the hole. EASY
