I closed the hood on a car that had no cable so I know how it is. All I can say is try to reach up through the underside of the bumper. There's a way ( or at least there was on mine ) to get your hand ( or something else) up by the latch to manually open it. I've done it before. But I think that car didn't have the plastic panel by the latch. You cant take the nose off because you gotta get to the bolts under the hood!
