Default Engine bay resto/Engine build started, NEED IDEAS PLEASE

Hi guys my engine will be coming out in the next few days, and i have the car due to go into the paintshop to have the bay painted too, just want some ideas/pictures, of colour schemes you went for, or like.

I.e blue rocker cover, block etc and white silicone hose etc etc.....

I will be welding up all holes that arent in use and smoothing them, and have also had thoughts of running the wiring through the inner wings.

As said i need your ideas, heres my bay:



Not the prettiest
Engine will be all freshly built, block painted etc, and will be a zetec block
