do mini bonnets have a common problem of bowing in the middle so they sit pround of the scuttle panel? Ive got to here and they both do the same. Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem without damaging them?
Bonnet Fitment?

looks bad though as ive managed to align the rest of the front rather well. Might have to swap this bonnet for a gen item and hope its not as bad.
Thanks for your input so far.

take the bonnet off and pull the hinges towards each wing then refit the bonnet.
the hinges get bent inwards and strain the bonnet and make it bow in the rear middle next to the scuttle.
