Bonnet

[Jedro]

cut a long one short..
iv got a corsa sport that had a front end bump, repaired to a reasonable standard but not amazing..
a/c removed, cross member welded beyond belief lol..... you get the point

the panel the bonnet shuts onto (slam planel?) has always been a little bit bent in.
after giving her a good wash today i found myself in the engine bay wiping things down as you do...
thought to myself, i could bend that back out and make it easier to open/shut the bonnet, it'd always been a bit of a twunt to do
after a good bash that didnt seem to do much i thought yeah, spot on, and shut it, now i cant open it, broke the (in car) latch...
fixed it....
had someone push down on the bonnet/pull up while i pull the leaver i doctored....

slightly yeah :thumb:, just been told the screw driver in the grill thing but, their problem sounds a bit different to mine...
the bit shaped slightly like a small bellend with the spring on has slammed down and got caught well and truly. like hooked underneath if you get me?

rite got it open by smashing the grill :sad:

now, iv bent the bellend shape bit a little to the drivers side so it meets up with the hole but the spring doesnt seem to sit rite?
can someone confirm this is the problem?
