I've noticed that my bonnet moves a bit while driving so I adjusted the ones by the windscreen and they are almost at the max limit. Didnt actually look to see if there were any front adjusters. Might raise them slightly and see if that helps as adjusting the windscreen ones didn't make much difference.

Make sure to take the locking wheelnut out of the bay room, before you do that.
If for whatever reason it will not open, you need access through the wheelarch.

If you cant get any try getting some rubber pipe the same diameter of bolt, and cut it to the right lengh and then put over bolt so rubber pipe contacts the bonnet to stop movment and keeps it the right height thumbsup

Vauxhall. Standard bump stops used on many cars. I posted the part numbers some time ago. Seen similar on a Citroën boot. As for the front pair of bolts. Not sure but only really need to be M8 or M10 bolts and some washers and nuts. OEM is rounded cap head bolts. Don't over tighten as the clam and radiator surround are soft.
