what are you going to do when you've removed it?
if you're not going to repair it, just twat it to smithereens and buy a new bonnet.

Buy a replacement bonnet and sell the old one as-is IMO. Less labour.

yea! dosen't have to be a new bonet, get it 2nd hand from a car which had the back smacked in and then spray it up same colour as your car if it aint already! cpeap 'n' easy. dunno bout fitting new bonnet, know my cars had one cuz i have a huge gap 1 side and little gap other, if ya get new one on right try not to cock it up like somebody has done with mine.
