No no no, you can't start chopping away at a good 23/28 series bonnet, good ones are as rare as rockong horse shit!
Although if you do, you aren't allowed to cut/remove any of the underbonnet bracing, leave all that as it is & you can pretty much go wild. One guy I know cut the forward edge of the power buldge, which sorta turned the buldge into a big bonnet scoop. It looked pretty good, but he ended up regretting cutting such a good bonnet.
EDIT: the other thing is, the cooling in a 23/28 engine bay is pretty good, with the standard bonnet vents. And it would be easier to cover up or reverse a cold air feed that's comes through the guard, or through the radiator support.
Also I heard that the splash guard, the big plate that bolts from the very front chassis rail to the crossmember, with the vents cut in it, that helps extract hot air from the radiator to underneath the car. So if anyone has a TA23 splash guard they're not using, I'd be very interested.
