Raising the bonnet is one method. You may have additional mounting holes on the core support where you can lower the radiator. If you don't you can drill new ones slightly lower. The trick is to keep the radiator fill lip higher than the top water inlet otherwise you may not fill the engine completely with water and have air in the system which will hinder circulation and cooling. Can you use a cap without the vent lever and get low enough for clearance. To get rid of the ding you may want to call a local ding repairer in the yellow pages or manually tap it back yourself or use a Ding King system using a glue gun and suction cup underneath. I expect you'll have paint damage on that spot regardless unless the dent is minimal and you have original paint or exceptional paint adhesion. Rob
-----Original John, the front end height of the bonnet can be adjusted by first removing the front bumper-ettes (aka the boobs in front of the bumper) then adjusting the height of the bolts holding the bonnet hinge tubes.
