I painted the valve cover the spark plug cover. The belt cover the wiper motor and the caps for the all the little accessories. Then you could run wire loom not to hard to do but what a difference that will make to. I'll get some pics of my engine bay up took two days but it was worth it.

The list you can do is really only limited by your imagination...and budget.

Replace all hoses with colored silocone.
Replace all wiring loom with colored wiring.
Paint anything plastic or metal
Chrome anything metal
Polish anything metal

I'll be posting up photos of my engine compartment this week.

I've re-done most of the wiring, and installed colored radiator fans...and more is to come.

Heres mine, I have done more work with hoses since the picture was taken though. I painted some of the caps silver, like the washer fluid, brake fluid etc.
