Hi there,
Mine is the petrol 2.0 v6. From what I could see on mine there would be no way of getting to the starter bolts without removing the battery box and aircleaner box. Also - when removing the starter you need to pull it upwards and outwards into the space that the battery box occupies.

The biggest hassle with the battery box was the torx bolts (x4) that were very tight indeed - I can't even begin to imagine why they'd have needed to be that tight just to hold the battery in place.

Andy.
