Thank you for your reply.
Building from scratch the frame for the engine bay is very difficult: I could try to, as it would provide the best reference for the shape. Maybe I could use some spare plastic, together with putty. I need to think about that.
Still, this would not allow me to correct the internal bulge.
Using a bottle filled with hot water is a nice idea. I could also use it to give the correct curvature to the hood.
Unfortunately, a replacement for this part is no longer available, as they told me: I have to manage to get the best result possible, with the hood I have.
