By raising the bonnet he means adding some spacers/washers to the back hinges of the bonnet. So the back of the bonnet is raised. It is ment to expell heat from the engine bay alot quicker/easier.

PS those bonnet catches look ace :D

Aww rite got ya now.hehe. I dunno if that would suit on a Glanza may look out on a GT, yeah the bonnet pins look sweet but need to get a way to look them as the bonnet can be opened when the car is locked.haha.

It does help but its only minimal! Suprising how many people tell you your bonnet is open too, although I did paint the washers black :p

I'd love a Glanza S bonnet and raise it too, not too keen on reverse scoops although a carbon one would be nice!

Well with my setup my under bonnet temp never goes above a fifth of the standard temp guage unless im sitting idle.
I like the reverse scoop and think it gives a more aggressive look and helps reduce under bonnet temp.

thats good to know was thinking of getting one.
 
raising the bonnet at the hinge does let hot air escape but it has been found out that it also creates a vacuum (i dont know how) and that sucks the hot air out also while driving hard
