Manual Exterior door release.

Next question in my track car build.
Is there a clean and simple way to have a manual exterior door release on a C6?
Im removing the electric switch(s) in the door. And need a way to open the door from the outside in case the driver is unable to. I'm leaving the manual interior release(s) on the floor in their stock locations.

I pulled the manual release cable through to the outside of my car. I don't have a photo handy but I'll get one when I unload.

I pulled the manual release back for the drivers side rear and the attached it to the roll bar. I used a roll bar clamp with a tab and a hole in it

I picked up a second interior release lever off of ebay with cable and swapped out the pull cable for a second interior style release lever, that I presently have heavy duty zip tied to my cage. I'll post a photo once I unload, but I've been pretty happy with this setup.
