I like the white. Helps to break up the engine bay.

I spose keeping them clean is always gonna be a pain.

Black for me as well. Could always paint the bay white next time the engine comes out to give it some contrast. Matt black would look good, but your pipes and rocker would need it as well to carry on the theme from the inner wings and slam panel.
