I know someone who.....well.....ermmmm....has just done so!
Can't think who.......

Ah,that will be why my car has 2 minor dents in the bonnet

Hello again..

I collected the car today and sorted the bonnet out,it was the half moon catches that you can see in the holes.undone them slightly and they bot released. Bonnet closed,job done I thought. Hmm I had taken the 75's grill off to have a proper look and after the bonnet closed ok I forgot to put the grill back so went to open the bonnet again and now it won't open !!! Very hot out there,so urgent ideas please.The grill is still off so a little access but not much

Help !!! oh by the way the car is in great condition,drives beautifully and everything works including the aircon !
