Dave Wellings - On Bonnet Centre Buffers



 I first noticed that Bumble's centre buffers were nowhere near the bonnets when closed.

This is not especially tidy, but does the job.

On the Roadster, the bonnets are even further away, and I discovered that lower damper bushes are the right size. 
The nearside needed a few mm shaving off. 

They look a bit over the top, but I'll see how we go with them:



The thing is, as standard they do nothing.............

Replacement brackets are an option, but being so visible will take a bit of fettling to look 'factory' spec. 
If I get some time though....................

UPDATE: Interestingly, on my 2016 Plus 4, these buffers just touch the insides of the bonnets.
