Default battery flat - totally locked out - how to open bonnet? other solution?

I am totally locked out - yes, I do not have the "safety key" only two electronic keys...I need to open the bonnet/ hood I guess to get some live to my battery again. Normally the battery used to have minimal power to unlock the doors but today it is totally flat.

1) Could I remove the front grill (without too much damage)?
I pulled... and the lower part moved out...but the upper part seems to be screwed in somewhere, correct?
2) Is there a way to reach the wire through the grill, pull and unlock?
3) more suggestions...

Thanks a lot!

Help needed really.

Sorry to be redundant, but you are sure there is no key blade in your remote? You have opened both up?

Posting in the LR4 section will get you more responses.

Call the closest Land Rover dealer. If you send them a picture of your drivers license and either registration or title of ownership, they can order you a new key blade via your VIN.

I just did this for a customers LR3, it was around $70. If you are having problems I can order one for you.

it took about 5 days, for $20-$30 extra rush fee you can get it in 2 days.
