start by cuttin out some metal to go accross the lights, grind off paint to bare metal where u will be welding then clamp the metal in place while u weld it on. grind down welds then use body filler to smooth it all into ur bonnet, sand down till smooth with no bumps.

tbh if its goin in the bodyshop neway id leave it to them cus they may have different ways of doin things, i know mine isnt the best.
