Looks good. Would work ok but be very directional.

Other risk would be the whip striking the leading edge of the bonnet causing damage.

Agree on it being directional. On it touching the bonnet, I think there is enough room to avoid touching the bonnet - it would depend on how flexible an antenna is on the bracket.
