The heat felt from the hood of a car when you touch it is primarily due to conduction. The hood is in direct contact with the hot engine components, transferring heat to the metal surface, which you then feel when you touch it. So, in this case, conduction is the main mechanism of heat transfer.

Is a car bonnet a conductor or an insulator?

Some of each. The "bonnet" of a car (you must be English; in the USA, we would say "hood") is generally made of metal, and protects the engine from weather or stray objects and animals. Because the bonnet is generally metal, it's an excellent conductor of heat. We'd really like to let the extra heat escape from the engine, so we don't really WANT to insulate the hood, but the hood can get TOO hot - so the hood generally has a layer of insulation within the engine to prevent the hood from becoming too warm.
