Since its been since about 1976 since i had my last 544, recollections are a bit fuzzy. I don't recall any heavier construction on any of the later cars, but i do recall that there are several different varieties of bonnets (hood) and mountings over the years. I had been thinking about getting a second hood for my 210 and punching it full of louvres. Lately that is on the back burner.

I think the technique to refit the boot lid may take some getting used to. I m sure it would be best to start out gingerly and work your way up to giving it a good shove. You'll probably find the correct amount of force required that way. Its one of those things that you have to just do, instructions can't quite fill in the details.
