The present invention relates to a bonnet displacement mechanism (12) for coupling a bonnet panel (14) to a body structure of a vehicle. The bonnet displacement mechanism (12) comprises a flange (20) for coupling the bonnet panel (14) to the bonnet displacement mechanism (12), a hinge mechanism for elevating the flange (20) from a normal position to a deployed position, the hinge mechanism comprising a stud (52) moveable relative to the bonnet panel, and a deformable member coupled to the flange (20) and comprising a substantially U-shaped seat (74) arranged to receive therein the stud (52) such that movement of the flange (20) from the normal position to the deployed position causes the deformable member to deform.
