[s-cars] Bonnet Swap

[Nathan Engelbert]

A S4 hood will physically fit the S6, if you need to get the car somewhere
with a correct hood, as the headlight profile of the A6/S6 headlights won't
contact the hood.

On the other hand, an S6 hood won't fit an S4, as the headlight glass will
make contact.

Agreed on the hood pad, swap it over.
