if the cables snapped & vice grips don't work, i'm afraid it's down to a bit of brute force with a tyre lever or pry bar to lift bonnet to get to mech

a decent torch and screwdriver through the grill is usually enouth without damaging the grill but failing that jack the car up and reach up from underneath the grab and pull cable near to the latch (you may need tp remove any sheilds underneath first)

Best tip from me is take it to a body shop. They know the tricks to get in and if they do damage a bit they can usually do a bit of bending back,just dont blame them if they do manage to mark the bonnet or grille.
