@JetJackson, please note that the plastic plate should contain a long protective rubberish plastic through which the "normal" cable should run, that additional feature is often missing

Hello JetJackson, sorry for the delayed reply, I thought I had the series 1+2 boot release lever and the S3 release lever in a place where I could easily locate, but it appears not to be like that. Below a picture of the release lever as used for S1 & S2 vehicles, currently I can't locate the S3 lever, but the geometry is very different. Potentially you can do something with the S1+S2 picture below to verify your own lever.
With regards to the bonnet release cable please note that the guidance tube (black long tube in below picture) is often missing. This tube guides your metal cable and ensures no damages occur inside your service bay during usage.

Thanks.
I managed to get a boot lever last week and refit it before the car went to the paintshop.
I will check my bonnet pull.
