Bonnets are always a problem on the Herald/Vitesse/Spitfire range; you can hunt around and maybe pick up a better bonnet, only to find it still needs the same repairs.
Complete brand-new bonnets are available at a price, but you are probably better off getting replacement wings and arches and repairing your existing bonnet.

Thanks for your answers.
The brand new replacement bonnets are a bit out of my budget....
Best idea as you said is probably replacement panels, but it is going to be a very hard, nasty job and not crazy cheap either. Think I'll wait a bit more see if I find any bargain on ebay...
I'll carry on with the rest in the meantime!
thanks al lot

Hello again,
after a bit of fiddling around I managed to fit the new brake caliper, but, the gap is slightly different on the two sides.
On the right hand side there only is a 2mm gap, It looks alright to me but is it really?
Thanks a lot for you advice!
All best
