You can use a trunk seleniod or in a pinch a power doorlock actuator. You can hang the door on the hinges so that it wants to open it self. Any local car audio/alarmshop should have the parts for you. The poppers are just a spring loaded shafts (just need something to keep the spring straight)

thanks to all the replies us scots are starting to get crazywith these things.

i also found out if you tighten the door in against the door seals this could be enough force to spring out the door any replies would be greatful.

My Door Opens with a 1 1/2 to 2 in. stiff spring and a cable type trunk release. However in case some one has not already told you! Don't forget about the backup plan. Batteries die and remotes lost. Don't want to have no way in or out. I have an area in my wheel well that I can access with a key to gain access to Manual backup. However I have been installing Alarms and thing for almost 20 years. I had a Chevy Luv that I locked my self out of once 12 years ago, I learned the hard way.

Good Luck!
