Fresh Bays! Show us your engine bay

[Yo_Mang]

So I'm looking to make my engine bay a little tidier and was looking around for some nice examples, but why not have them all in one place!?

Drop a photo in here of your engine bay, and if you have changed or modified things to make it look cleaner let s know what you have done.

I'll kick start it with mine.

As I have COP the cover has gone from the engine. It's a pretty bland engine bay at the moment, only mods visable are COP and some red cup washers aka "dress up bolts" and silicone cooler piping for the time (also the Cusco strut brace that needs the ends repainted!). Am looking in to painting the rocker covers at the moment

All I have done is a little bit of pipe work and a messy as heck loom

This was mine a few weeks ago but since sold the y pipe. I'll be making 1 that accommodates the engine cover.

The top one has the best sticker

About that... Might need a fresh one. My last grill was lost (Stolen or somehow fell out while driving so it no longer lives!

Impressive work guys, definitely jealous of some of these and others yet to come I'm sure.
I recall some of Steve's previous work in the area was pretty impressive, can't remember which members VR4 it was that got the treatment but I'm sure we'll see it here in this thread soon enough.

Meanwhile I've found it hard to keep tidy/clean (let alone looking pretty) and chasing kW at the same time. That may change when these small TD03s finally run out of huff however. ;-)

Hope to have a bit more shiny parts in the engine bay soon - when the parcel from trotty will arrive in "good ol' Germany"

Looks like a qcustoms carbon engine cover.

Here's mine, need to change those red hoses to the overflow to black, would have been nice with some shiny hard pipes but it's all stock now so....

 

[BFun]

At least there isn't green coolant splattered everywhere anymore!

I still need a couple stickers too...

Will the engine cover accommodate COP though as the stock one doesnt? ;-)

Managed to get the rocker covers and plenum/runners pretty clean via scrubbing by hand...for more hours than I wish to remember. If only I'd known about Chemtech Blitz Aluminium cleaner at time, they'd be spotless. Ideally want to powder coat them white but don't particularly wanna pull everything apart again solely for that purpose. Nevertheless, here's my mostly clean, albeit unexciting bay.

The engine cover is from a CVR4 UK member (peter m), who made a lot of CF covers 1.5 years ago.
