You shouldn't need to adjust the bonnet alignment unless your car has been in an accident and had the bonnet replaced.
Well I was in an accident and had the bonnet replaced. I'll adjust the rubber bumps for now and if there is still a problem after that I will get the bonnet alignment checked out.
FYI, Finally sorted out the vibration problemat 2000rpm usually at higher speeds and only under load.
I have been told it is very common for Euros when they get on in K's. The problem is the inner joint on the drive shaft. I got mine replaced and cost me under $100 each end as I took them out and gave it to the CV joint specialist. Happy nowI don't have a vibration anymore as if my wheels were not bolted up tight
Another problem with euros with higher k's is a stretched timing chain which will give you rough idle and sometime fault codes.

Which CV joint specialist did you use? I think I have the vibration as well.
First Honda said it may be the shafts, then Hanny's who said the same thing, it also happens to S2000's. I took them out cause it was so dangerous and took it to A&L driveshafts in Campsie. He told me it is common on Euros and showed me where it was damaged after cleaning the grease out of the inner joint.
At first it was a small vibration and slowly got worse untill I couldn't even go uphill on freeways at normal speed, had to travel at 60klm and looked like a D!@k He@d.

Looks like I will have to get myself a spare set of driveshafts.
Mine is still minor, only at freeway speeds and it is very subtle in the form of steering wheel vibration. I have ridden in another Euro where the car goes BANGBANGBANGBANG once it exceeds a particular speed and strong throttle is applied.

Yes mine was like the other euro you were in.
IS your vibration all the time or only when under load? If it is at a certain speed all the time it is most probably cause you need wheel balancing.

Mine is only under load. I will check again when I am at the racetrack, since the road is flatter there and less defective unlike Sydney roads.
I found this article that relates to the Accord v6. I'm sure the exhaust set up is different in the two cars, however, is it possible that a damaged or deformed exhaust pipe mounting bracket could be the culprit in our cars?

The 03-07 Euro does not have a mounting bracket. It has rubber hangers which connect in between 2 metal mounting rods.
