Hi all. Can anyone tell me how to remove the bonnet? I’ve searched here on here but couldn’t find any advice. I want to remove so that I can give it a touch-up respray.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Bonnet Removal
Might be quicker to mask it off and paint it in situ. Then there's no worries about realigning it when you refit it - and you'll be able to see how the colour matches with the wings as you're painting it.

Re: Bonnet Removal
Probably one of the easiest jobs to do.
Scribe the position of the hinges, protect the paint work behind bonnet, remove hinge bolts and lower bonnet onto the protection material.
You will need an assistant to remove the bonnet from the vehicle unless you have Long Strong arms. Its a 10 min job just remember to scribe the hinge position for realigning the bonnet.

Tend to agree with that. Life's too short!
