Disconnect the bonnet switch ;)
You will probably find that the bracket has been bent slightly whilst the work was being done. Bend it back or disconnect it, a common problem.

As you stand in front of the car with the bonnett open, it is on the right handside towards the rear of the engine bay, you can't miss it ;)

Nothing, the alarm will no longer monitor the bonnet.
