I try and keep the bonnet closed as much as possible to keep dirt out.

Depends how far you wanna go really...

All I did was paint for Autosalon, + some Meguiars rubber polish and some plastic hose covers (red).

Topped out at about $100

Definitely not the best, but enough to help me in getting "Best Innovative Conversion" at CHCH AS '06

Now i know your car, you were in MSport right?

Rhys showed me pics of the car years ago when i was lookin at a turb conversion, after 2 engine changes i got over it

hated my engine bay so much after this pic, i stripped it out and rewired/hosed it, debadged the front then blew the motor up :D

I got em from Supercheap haha

D-Stocks one is probably one of the best on here. I am just saying that it can be tidies up really cheap (my pic above was a while after my radiator cap had failed, used to be clean nuf to eat off)

Here is a link on www.nzperformance.co.nz with the first engine bay pic I ever took... Was so clean haha
