Default What to do with my Alloy turbo Heat shield

I got one of these for my car (not new but pretty mintos)
https://secure.encryptedspace.com/au...ct_detail&p=25
and have a few other shiney bits as well, I was thinking about maybe putting up a post and seeing if anyone fancied swapping the heatshield for an Alloy header tank, but then, thought i should keep it and wondered if it would look good powdercoated black? as well as all the other bits in the engine as well, i have just bought a refurbed camcover in black as well,
has anyone done similar? or should I just leave the heatsheild and everything else shiney, any pics of engine bays would be supercool

it just breathes from either side of the engine,and then there is a collector in the passenger side wheel arch that needs emptying every now and again i don't have any close ups of it though,it's a Pro-Alloy setup i think

My last Sapph





My latest one (Just bought it so havent had a chance to get bufty yet)



My Corsa Turbo





I like shiny engine bays but have become a lot more partial to them looking as clean and subtle/standard as possible with powder coating and painting.
