You need to have them custom made, make them yourself or just use washers.

this dosnt work. with a nova yes coz the bonnet blots square on the hinge. corsa ones are at an angle on the side so if u put to many washers on it in effect the bonnet wont close. plus it wont raise it.
the best way is to get some 3mm plate by how ever much u wish to rasie then mesure the bolt hole, then mesure the gap form edge to edge of the hole then take half the the bolt hole off each end. so if ur hole is 10mm and the gap from edge to edge is 100mm, minus 2 halfs which is 10mm. this will find you the lenth you need to find the dead centgre in ur blank plate. a picture paints a thousand words but i dont have 1 so i hope this helps
