there should be some rubber stops on where the bonnets sits, see if there adjustable, make sure that the top part of the bumper is secure properly aswel

The stops are not adjustable but will check the bumper .

there not but i have put small rubber "o" rings under mine to lift the bonnet slighlty

only other adjustment is the bonnet catch...

isn't the bonnet like that for a reason though? the same reason there is a bigger panel gap between the bonnet and bumper compared to the other panel gaps on the car,i don't know of any reason by the way i was just wondering

I have done what Foxspeed said and put a rubber o ring on top and looks much better . It looks like the front catch bolts are on the other side so would have to take the front fixed bonnet bit off to get to them if any one knows how that comes off please let me know.

My bonnet used to shut using the prescribed drop from 12 inches method, then after a while it would just bounce up again. The bonnet catch indeed looks like a bumper off job to adjust it.
