Cover over all the ugly bits with polished aluminium or plastic which has been painted the same colour as the car so you hide all the wires and pipes.

Or re-wire the engine in so that you hide all of the wiring and cover over the backs of the headlamps...

Both pretty big tasks though

well the minifold has that exhaust wrap round it partly to keep heat in cos its pretty near the radiator - hehe

as for re wiring bits beardy is coming over to tidy that up before the photo shoot date! any other parts i can get chrome for it but not to expencive, the engine is ok just not happy really with it yet! iaz
