Hi
I've noticed that the gap between my bonnet and drivers wing is slightly bigger than the gap on the other side
Its not a big issue but it annoys me. Is there anyway I can tweek the alignment easily to match?
The wings are aligned fine in themelves
Cheers

Adjust the hinges themselves. Just loosen the bolts and twist the bonnet as you need to and just tighten back up.

Yes loosen the bolts where the bonnet attach to the shell then move to the required position and tighten again.
They are 10mm I think from memory

Thanks guys, I spotted the hinges had small bolts but I didn't know it was just a job of loosening them and repositioning it.. I was expecting to be told I'd have to take it off and put it back on haha

Its not diagonal or anything, just needs bringing to the left a mm or 2, so I will loosen the bolts, shift it accordingly and retighten
Is there a specific torque for the bolts to be tightened again?
