+1 for more photos and details. Can't believe I missed the bonnet mod.
Hard to believe it has been wrapped, such a curvy car, must have been a bitch to do.

Is the small bonnet grill a one off? It looks great and is something that I want to add to mine.

Interesting........ I may be entirely wrong, but it looks like about 7.5 inches nearest the screen, and 2.5 inches as the sharp end? Just by comparing photos with yours and Ericholm's. Does this give more access to some critical under bonnet items? so therefore the front could be bolted down and only moved for more major work, utilising the 'small' bonnet for most tasks?

I think it is simply for the cosmetic look. Hoping for a lot more details on this build as it looks as if there has been a lot of thought put into it.
MGF seats do look very good, not as bulky as the Rover seats.

Re: BANDINI
Small bonnet grill is nothing special, just alloy mesh bonded from behind and the surround is vinyl.
Spot on with your calculations for bonnet extension. I intended to hinge the bonnet and bolt down the front, but could not source suitable hinges that would fit. It is now bonded in place.
Sorry, not good with posting pictures and my 4 year old grand daughter is too busy to assist at the moment !
The car is based in Dewsbury , West Yorkshire if you are close ?
