Get yourself a shiney new AS cambelt cover and it will look the part mate as to me the old black cover dont really suit the shiney bracket

just my opinion

Oh and and black washer bottle . Ive decided to do power steering bottle,washer bottle and header tank all black but with a bit of ORANGE Sounds crap but i think it will look smart when ive done it. along with orange hoses. will start a thread soon

What a car Mat

One thing i did with my air injectors as they don't look as good as the twin when mounted up front - i powdercoated the main bracket so it would blend in with the colour of the mounting bracket

As you can see in this pic
