are you talking about the bolt that holds the hinge to the body? the one you cant see? goodluck with that! you dont get much more space if u take the 1/4 panel off.

to assist you and others pls don't just write your questions as one very long sentence we have a tech section with different areas for engines, bodywork etc, pls put your post in the appropriate section and NOT all in the VL turbo section pls use spellcheck too, your flange thread is a shocker

i have my car stripped down atm so its easier for me cause mine doesnt release at the moment but if you have the bumper off and radiator out you can kinda crawl in to try pop the bonnet from in there if you can get the radiator out from under the car? would be quite impossible though... just a thought... dont hate on me lol
