Hi Darren,
That is a authentic bonnet stay, not like the modern gas filled ones used by some manufacturers!
As far as I'm aware you don't need to have stays fitted for SVA, nor front and rear bumpers/over riders.
So out of your list you do not need to do Number 1 & 2, and with regard to number 9, don't bother, keep it to congratulate yourself for passing first time!
