I think the only prob may be the extra heat that the bonnet will absorb from the sun. Heat radiating from the engine should be any different as dark colours only absorb heat from light energy. (you know, the spectrum and all that shit...)

That is actually wrong.
Things which are black in color do actually absorb and radiate heat more than any other color... Not just light. Weird i know.
It is the reason why heatsinks/radiators/etc are painted black.
