    Took my car to an auto elec a month ago, they did a bit of work on the dizz wiring, so im assuming they removed the bonnet to do it. few days later, i noticed that my bonnet no longer sat level with the front panels. the bonnet sat below them by a millimetre or two. is there something they would have done that caused this? ive got a couple of those spacer things ive noticed on a few VR/VS's, but i put one in and it seemed to make no difference at all.

    check the rubber stops on the bonnet, unscrew them a little to see if that fixes it. I think there might be some rubber stops along the side too, just check them. taking the bonnet off usually doesnt effect the alignment of the bonnet

    yeah my only thought was that the removed the bonnet, and these spacers fell off and they didnt realize and put them on without them. but i put one in and it didnt seem to make a difference
