Hinged bonnet

[Noisy]

I'm thinking of fitting a hinged bonnet to the Tuscan as I scratched the front of the car putting the bonnet back on by myself yesterday which was rather annoying. Wondering if anyone has a little how to guide, seen some photos on previous threads so will more than likely copy those ideas.

Next job is put the inspection bonnet on gas struts...fed up with bashing the stay off the "nipple".

I'm looking to get the main bonnet hinged this summer as well, it must make sense plus I can then start polishing everything up. Keep me posted on how you do?

Whats the average cost for this modification??

Surface & Design(TVR lads in Bristol Av,Blackpool) price £600 plus cost of struts (which can be £100 a pair for variable pressure stainless), can't remember if that includes VAT.

Once it's done, you will want a nice cover for the heater covers (since TVR never bothered)...which S&D can now do for a very reasonable cost...once they take a "splash mould" from the one they've done for me
