I've decorated my engine bay a bit... (a few pics)

[whatisjustis]

Picked up a Hill Power elbow last night thanks to 'Mr Hurst' from here on the forum and decided to give the 'bay a bit of a freshening up. Gave the engine cover a good clean, sprayed the plenum and fuel rail and of course fitted the Hill Power bend. It took a bit of fiddling around as the Simota is so bloody big but I'm pretty chuffed with how it looks! My question is this though - what next?! I'm undecided about what colour to do the engine cover. Red would be the obvious answer but opinions welcome

No, I didn't. I just covered everything up really well with newspaper! I'll be looking into Baileys though, thanks for that.
