Having a flip bonnet is quite cheap .... The expensive bit is the cost of making what you see nice.... 
.
Unfortunatley because PW wanted the bonnet bolted down on a Tuscan it's not as good as it might have been without modification.
Busy getting this mod done at the moment. Apart from rocker cover, some polishing and hoses what else needs to be done? Do you have a picture of your engine bay we can see? .Unfortunatley because PW wanted the bonnet bolted down on a Tuscan it's not as good as it might have been without modification.
i)Paint inner wings since only gel coat
ii) Cover for heat exchangers
iii)Stainless PAS mounting bracket
iv) Carbon Airbox
v) Carbon Plug Cover
vi)Engine Caps
vii)Polished Oil Cooler
viii)Polished water pipes
ix) Stainless Braided Oil Pipes (£500)
x) Zirotec Coated Manifolds & Cats
xi) Buffed oil & water tanks
xii)Stainless compression joint and pipes for oil breather pipe
xiii) Aluminium Radiator
Plus more ..... Oh and a 4.5 Rebuild( you're halfway there with a 4.3 ) and still more to do....Like stainless oil cooler mounting brackets and getting rid of the P-clip on the heater pipe.

Hi Gordon
Is that so you can fit a V8 in there, or did you need to get under it on the way home ?
Mark, what are you doing on this forum, you should be on the Old Mans Jag/Tata forum, I would like a flip bonnet so I can see a proper hand build engine and not one built in Calcutta. Anyway thanks for the trip around London Wednesday night In your new massed produced barge Is that so you can fit a V8 in there, or did you need to get under it on the way home ?
PS, golf is booked for 12pm next Wednesday.......Edited by TOV!E on Friday 22 February 09:00
Keith (gloworm) do you ever use your Tuscan or is it a ornament......Only joking, does the new engine feel a lot different to the old one.????????????? And hurry up and get the first thousand miles on it as Dom has only given you a 3 years warranty

I still have some bonnet hinges left from the spares I had made up when I did mine if you want a pair. To be honest, any trustworthy bodyshop or garage would be able to do the work as it's not complicated, it just takes some time and needs more than one pair of hands.
I know Racing Green's bodyshop did the conversion using the hinges I supplied on the recent 12 plate Tuscan they sold.
