Cant you return the vent from where you got it? If not why not try rubbing it down then smoothing it over with fiberglass paste? Or even take it down to your friendly local bodyshop???

If its pretty think i'd try rubbing it flat but the general oppinion is that filler on bonnets is a bad idea especially when bridging gaps etc and should only be used as last resort. However lightly skimming with filler should not cause too much of a problem and make sure there are NO air bubbles in the filler otherwise the trapped air will expand with the heat from the engine and crack the filler.
