Washers and longer bolts, depends how the bonnet is attached to the hinges..on my 106 I used the longer bolt and washer method, plenty of people do it, or just cut two plates to attach so it raises the bonnet.

You can't just space it out with a packing piece because the hinges are angled. It can be done with a bit of bodgery.
