Chrome engine bays look horrible, imo. This is mine, all powder coated, some old photos in there but everything that can be done, has been done.

I'm in the same dilema as I need to decide what to do with the Fiesta's bay. While the engine is out I will get in there and give it all a damn good clean and get painting some of the bits

i was thinking about this recently.

i am considering a yellow rocker cover with a black charge carrier then either yellow or red vacuum hoses. this is in a red car by the way.

may have to edit some pictures to see what it looks like.
