Help ..... Ive been a dimwit.

Following on from a recent post regarding a dodgy starter motor I thought I would have a look at it myself, so with safety in mind disconnected the battery, of course I remembered not to close the bonnet NOT.The car in question is a 997t and my question is how the hell do I get the bonnet open to re-connect the battery? I,ve tried the leads onto the little post in the fuse box but that I think only works when the battery is dead but connected to the posts. Thanks in advance for any help ,yours truly a dimwit....

Thanks everyone for the help, although nothing I tried managed to get the bl###y thing open.Removed the wheel arch liners with no sign of any cables poking out to pull on.The good news and a top tip for any other fellow dimwits out there is this.... with the help of someone holding the rocker switch on the sill in the open position I got a metal coat hangar , straightened out with a hook at the end and going in between windscreen and trailing edge of the bonnet managed to hook the negative lead and touch it onto the battery post and joy of joys it popped open. Never would have thought that getting the bonnet open could give so much happiness.
