Froggyman, Gary & Marc - Thanks for all the suggestions chaps.
Unfortunately, I have made several attempts to create a level playing field on my driveway over the years and they have all failed.
Thankfully, I have found a workable solution...

Here we go again!
I did try jacking up the driver's side of the car, but it didn't help.
Instead I ended up with a, rare for me, KISS solution.
As, completely by chance, this block of wood lifts the template to the correct spot under the arch.
So I decided to take a deep breath and just get on with it...
First to go was the "lip" along the both edge of the bonnet.
This should hopefully allow me to get a better join from the rear of the side extension panel.
Then it was time to really get stuck in.
Note:
The bottom end of the bonnet is not actually where the final cut will be, I just needed to split it "somewhere" to help the rebuilding process.
The bulk of this arch is too big, but the leading edge is too small, so this section needed to be trimmed some more.
Then the sections cut away needed to be chopped into small sections so they would follow the curve of the template (ish).
Then it was time to try and put it all back together, but the weather turned against me before I could finish.
Still, at least I have made a start.
Despite all the practise I have had at this, this looks like it is going to be quite a challenge to get right.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
