I believe the rear is the boot and the front is the bonnet. At least that was what my '59 Morris Minor had. So, I would think that the proper term is fronnet, or frunnet, depending upon dialect.
Why?
We put "fr" on trunk (front trunk) to make "frunk". Not "fr" on hood to make "frood".
So similarly,
"fr" on boot (front boot) = "froot"
