Does anyone have any tips or links for ways to make the 2 look better when I open the back up? I was looking at some TRD oil caps etc. the other day but wondered what you guys thought?

To be fair that does look good - never realised what a good clean would do. The red helps too though - silver is less impactful!

Ah...silver...probably wouldn't look as good...you probably need some contrast with coloured pipes etc

No longer for sale Tony, no reason given.  Obviously it wasn't to be and anyhow I know Foxy has been serviced annually with new oil every year so I'm better off to stick with what I've got.   :)

Oops, chit chat, sorry mods. :withstupid:

Good to see all these lovely engine bays.  People at work laughed when I said I'd spent a sunny afternoon cleaning my engine bay. :/

Looks good, where did you get your red cover from?

Standard cover painted red, one of the easier jobs to do.

Steady hand and a small brush, the one in the picture was done by the previous owner but I painted the one on my old silver car, pretty much the same but black lettering.
