the washer jets just pop off, the pipe runs inside the bonnet just pull it out carefully, cant quite think for sure how i got mine off, if the bonnets fcuked u might aswell just put a small flat bladed screwdriver underneath the jet and just prise it off, should come off pretty easily might still be attached to pipe so just pull it off, and as u say hinges e.t.c, cnat think how i did the bonnet catch though ha my dad did that as i was out! when he gets back ill ask him and post it up! good luck chap!

right dad just got back, the catch is held in by a nut/bolt, not sure what size, and theres also the safety catch which is held in by a solid pin, it needs to be knocked out with a hammer and a drift (punching tool), so that u can swap this to your new bonnet, just be dead careful with the screwdriver then mate! should be ok if your careful! hope ive been of some help!

if you look where the washer pipe enters the bonnet there is a connector so u can disconnect the pipe, do this then remove the washer pipes off the car, much easier.
