Default tidy up the engine bay

As in the tittle, hit me with things to do

I have cleaned the block with gunk... Looks lovely now, rest just looks well... crap and basic!

I want to open the bonnet and people to go OMG, how much did that cost???

Now they say, bloody hell thats big I wouldnt know where to start.. My reply is my GF does ask her if your stuck

My car is a black classic wrx, it has a hks cone filter and a strut brace and a forge vta valve.

Green red and black go well with my car, so ideas

Samco hoses, spec r fuse and battery covers that would be a good start.. maybe some carbon covers in there too.. you can do a lot really but does cost a fair bit. I think theres a carbon engine dress up kit in the scoobyshop on here

A picture would help to give an idea of where you're at with it.

Paint or powder coat everything for a start cos that crap zinc coating on all the brackets looks terrible.

Apart from all the obvious stuff like hoses, changing all the fastenings for stainless stuff etc. makes a big difference.

Heres some of mine in various guises and with some detail shots to give you a few ideas.
