If for a 2+2, the bonnet moulding is not long enough, for sure and perhaps not long enough for a FHC.
I've not handled the material, but SNGB supply a plastic chrome look alike beading (used to edge the rear door hinge covers) to use as a replacement for the Cant Rail trim moulding.

The bonnet chrome strip is long enough for the FHC, I used them on mine.
A little needs trimming off the end, but it is made of brass.
You have to be very careful with the shaping, otherwise it will kink.
I used the cant rail itself as a former (without trim).
