It might be better to rethink the concept to flip that way.

A bit more laterally ... perhaps it'd be possible to leave the bonnet in standard configuration and just engineer an arrangement to make the mudguards (wings) easier to remove/refit.

Sounds like a much better idea. I have seen a landie where the bonnet and guards flipped forward.

Welding captive nuts to the rad support panel would make the guards a lot easier to remove. Also, I made custom inner guards (small pieces that run between the guard and the footwell), so that they are only bolted at the bottom (they just have a u-shaped section at the top which fits over the bracket on the guard)

as far as i am aware if the vehicle is on a full chassis stuctural integrity is not affected be different go for it
