Ive found a perfect EYC bonnet in the local scrappys, they want 30 quid for it which i loving the sound of. just wondering how tricky it is to remove and install a bonnet.
Itll just be a few bolts i guess...?

Remember to take the washer Jet pipe's off Before unbolting.

couple of bolts on each hinge, and disconnect the washer jets, and make sure you have someone on hand to take the weight while you undo it

ok cool doesnt sound too bad.
I guess best to just unscrew from the hinge instead of removing the whole hinge unit?
