Don't know exactly where you would move them mate... about all you could do is clean them up some.

I've seen some covers slapped together but IMO they look out of place.

Even if you just replace the overflow with one that hasn't turned yellow... would be an improvement.

Oh and chrome would look really good in the engine bay of a botanica vs :p

Anything is possible. Just depends how much work and $ you want to put into for the outcome.

the overflow tank isnt really visable on the vt its just a long tube that sticks up simular to the window washer fluid set up you have a sort of dip stick to tell how much coolant is in the tank i personally like the vs system better easyer to see easier to maintain and clean out the tank my vt dip stick always used to be covered in sludge when i pulled it up and i do a once a year radiator flush with my cars

you can also cover the fuse box with stainless steel and other things in there aswell like i have done.

and you can paint the overflow tank to match the car or just paint it what ever colour looks good just remember to leave a section on the side so you can check your levels.
