My bonnet has been cutting a groove into the bumper since well before I owned the car Mike & i've just found, thanks to RobG that the bumper has not been refitted correctly after being removed at some time & the bonnet leading edge was all pitted & rusting >:( Also there were numerous stone chips, some of them almost through to bare metal, so the offending areas have been sanded back to a sound base and zinc primed where necessary, ready for a re-paint with rattle cans  :o :o
We intend removing the bonnet & spraying it inside the garden gazebo with all the side panels fitted to keep out dust/insects etc :P
I have a distinct feeling the end result will be less than desireable, but needs must when the devil drives ::) ;D :y

Good luck with that little project then...... :y :y  I must admit mine is picking up a few battle scars, stone chips on the front and a few car park marks by people who just open their door without any care or consideration... :( :(
