And then get ready for everyone (who doesn't know much about cars) to tell you your bonnet is open all the time.

It's literally a bit of metal cut to size to fit over the 2 holes for the hinges. Drill it, then screw in the hinge as normal, except this time there's a bit of plate in the way which will mean the bonnet won't sit flush = raised bonnet.
Couldn't be any simpler!

i understand but, the if you sit the steel flush then the bonnet pulls to one side, makin it harder to put the other side on as its pulled over. so you will need to bend it inward to enable bonnet to sit parralell with the original hinge
