1. get rid of that clear tube off the bov lol, otherwise id just say try to tidy up all your hoses and wiring. Would take time to get it real neat and tidy.

as above - hoses and wiring.
if you cant hide them, make them neat and tidy but also try and make them appear more as back ground.
you really need to add something to the engine bay that attracts the eye immediatley when first looked at - this will move the focus away from the hoses and wiring.
at the moment, the first thing the eye is attracted to either the black intake cover or the blue silicon intake tube - neither of which are a highlight of the engine bay.

Put something on the black intake cover - a sticker, a word whatever maybe even make it another colour as thete is a lot of black in the engine bay.

i got to have a hose from the bov or else its to loud and its a plumb back bov. im thinking of putting that fake braided hose stuff and maybe putting the standard engine cover back on with some modifications to it and hide that clear hose under the fan shroud

i rekon the best way is to leave the original engine cover on but paint it...... i painted mine the same color blue as my car and am in the prosses of hiding wires and mayeb new over flow bottels and stuff if u want photo's just ask i can find some

yeah i know i wil have to paint my engine cover but becuase i have a reverse plenum ill have to cut both the sides off it to make it fit and look half alright. yeah send me pics on idea anything will help me out i think it just looks to messy at the moment.

airbox, radiator fan shroud and all the other black plastic work, take it off and paint it black. always shinny, always nice.
relocate the battery and fusebox to the boot along with all the wiring. u can hide wiring in the quarter panels too if u wanna.

fake brained hose covers are for anal sex only, dont be lame

so u reckon painting it gloss black will make it all look good. nah i like the battery where it is as i got **** all room in the boot at the moment and fuse box in the gaurd i might consider it ill have a look 2morow and see if u dont have to cut any wires at all to do it. the only thing that will **** me off is having to change a fuse or a stuffed relay i will have to pull the gaurd lining off or even still ill have to jack it up as i cant even fit my fat head under the front bar
