Kept my FIAT from getting too hot in summer.

Washers or blocks under the hinges, simple as that.
I considered it just for looks (maybe I will consider it again after seeing this lol). Only got a 1.2 so doubt it'd make a difference. Kinda looks like you've been in an accident if it's not done right though :/

watch it you, i have a TOW sticker lol
Just in case the tow truck guy can't find the big black tow eye on the front when you land in that gravel trap, and you're dead so can't show him?
ive seen a few cars like this now and my mates say its done to let the hot air out from under the bonnet. does it accually work and what are peoples thoughts on it. ps sorry to whoevers pic i stole. its from one of the local cs meets.
This has now been fixed. It was never done to reduce engine bay temperatures, can't say it made a difference as I never tested it. It was a buckled bonnet and the only way to make it look normal around the lights was to raise the back up...
That's all well and good, but you need somewhere for the air to escape.
Did mine like that, lasted about 4-5 weeks until i got pulled for numerous reason, and the copper said " What would happen if you run someone over if the bonnet is like that" i was like urmm, obvious the person would go over the car realisticly ffs, but i ended up with a £30 fine

LOL only joking mate
Wel i got a fine for:
-HAving a raised bonnet
-rear lights to dark
-small numberplate
but i got a warning and they were keeping a check on me until i sorted them, couple days later on the way to work i got pulled by the same copper and was orderd to take car back home, and if he saw it like that again on the road he would take it away from me
he was a tw@t tbh,What do you mean?
Jay_Low - Sounds like you got off lightly with the other things they flagged up!

Take off the lower engine cover, or make some holes in it so the gear linkage is still "protected"

Well after Sunday down at Crail i think i should invest in these for going on track's and up the quarter mile :S

If you do this, be potentially prepared for oil/heat to spew up the windscreen when you're driving.
And definitely be prepared for no end of 'oi mate, you've left your bonnet up!'

I think Fiat had the right idea with the lifted bonnet concept
