[alfa] Spider Hood alignment

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

That's the curious thing..  I have never touched the hinge to hood 
bolts, only loosened the hinge to car.  I seemingly had too little 
spacing at the wiper side, so moved things about..  What you say makes 
sense though.. and I guess I'll try it again..  could be that moving 
hinge to body can also effect the spacing too, but in a non linear 
fashion and I'm on the wrong end of that nonlinearaity..

At least I know it was able to be nearly perfect on one set of 
adjustments.. just have to get back there
