You want to bonnet pins on mate. That will stop the bouncing.

No idea about gap? Is it massive? I think when you put a facelift bonnet on a pre 97 car there is a little gap but dont think its massive

My Hinges were damaged when my old bonnet decided to fly up on me, luckly I was travelling at low speeds.The hinges were replaced & then I fitted my new carbon fibre bonnet. My bonnet flaps about at high legal speed too, pins will stop that. Try Demon tweeks
You should be able to slacken off the bolts (hinge) & re-line the bonnet position to even it out, even gaps on both sides. It might take you a few goes to get it even.

As ticky said, you can adjust it so you have even gaps down the side.

I didnt do the pins on my carbon bonnet but im sure someone will post up whats the best way to put pins on
