Does anyone know if there is an existing grommit that I can use to run a few wires from the passenger compartment through to under the bonnet?
Also does anyone have a how to on how to remove the grille?
I need to get my car 'work ready ' ;-)

Open the bonnet.
On the drivers side, underneath the fire wall cover right up near (and under) the windscreen is a black plastic compartment (you will have to remove the rubber strip and cover that both run the width of the engine bay just up under the windscreen to see).
There is a fuse box that runs wiring from the engine bay into the interior through a slot inside the box.
You will need to remove the screws that hold the box cover on.
Once you have the top off, you will see where the wiring runs into the interior.
The slot is also visible under the dash from the inside when the lower covers are taken off in the footwell.

Edit: the cover to the box does take some work to remove from under the windsreen area. You may want to remove the wipers and lower windscreen cover if you have difficulty.

This is where we run the wiring for WMI.

Grille best removed with front bumper removal.
