just got my car running good and its been smacked!!!!!!!!!
most of its paint work but there a crack under the indicator and it runs round under the bottom vent, is this repairable? or do you think or should i ask for a new bonnet? the crack goes round some tight bends so im not sure it will be easy to do!
plus i think both bonnet pins are shagged as you cant open the dam thing

It's definitely repairable, don't worry it will be as good as new and probably better. (There was another similar thread posted on the same thing here recently).

Probably remove the front hinge bolts then lift the nose of the bonnet and jiggle it about until it pops open. It's fibreglass remember so it's quite flexible.
