So basically its just a longer bolt with somthing to make the bonnet further away really easy to do. And looks quite good. Dont know how long the plastic will last

Its really easy just get someone to hold the bonnet as the whole thing needs to come off. I have read you can use washers. But I havent got any

Bonnet raisers are simple to make, it's just a bit of sheet metal cut to the size lift you want then bolt the bonnet to one side of the metal and the bracket to the other doing it this way means the bonnet stays in line
