Bonnet on eg seems to hanging over the front bar a bit
Doesn't really line up.
Anyone know if the bonnet can be adjusted back?

You should be able to loosen the bolts on the bonnet brackets so you can adjust the position.

Its a little tricky by yourself, so grab a mate to give you a hand. :thumbsup:

The ones that hinge it to the car, see if there's some play that can push it up towards the windscreen (like when a bolt goes through an oval hole and can wiggle one way or the other).

Are they the bolts on the actual bonnet on the chassis?
That pic shows them as being on the bonnet

They are bolts on the bonnet. Look at the positions highlighted, you should be able to find them ok.

i see lots of eg. its actually because the rad support has been bent back.

look at your bonnet and guard. if they line up then its your bar/ rad support
