Hi Warren, thanks for the info.
That first photo is pretty much identical to how my engine bay looks right now.
I'm definitely liking the look of that engine bay in the other photo! It looks very neat and tidy with the replacement engine cover, and the chrome piping looks very classy indeed!!
I think I may well look in to something similar at some point, but only once I've checked off the other bits and pieces I have planned in my 'ever growing' list of mods!
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you btw, I went to Barcelona last Thursday for a stag do and only got back late last night. God only knows how I've managed to make it in to work today - the term 'the lights are on but no-one's home' is a pretty accurate way to describe how I'm feeling right now...
