   sorry im a bit of a noob when it comes to things like this.
   But yeah i bought a furio a few days ago and there is a little problem the seller told me about but i didnt understand it too much as he left.
   
   But then i popped the bonnet and tried shutting it again and there is a little ding on top of the bonet just above the catch. The bonet can close and attatch itself to the bumper but no matter how hard i try i just cant get it too lock
   
   he did say you need to push it in but i couldnt understand

   if you loosen the bolts for the catch you should be able to adjust it try that

   while its like this i wouldnt drive it over 30mph, heard about people going down motorway with bonet not been locked properly and it smashing windscreen and h cars behind, silly mistake that can cost a lot.
