I have had loads of parts sitting around in the garage . Normally I would send the car off to somebody else to fit this stuff . However he was away so thought give it a go ..

Spent some time looking through the manual and bugging people down the phone (

there's a lot to this so it may take a while to get to the end .

This is my engine bay as I got it after the rebuild

OK ... totally standard and a bit dirty

Thought I would get some bling and sort it out

so I got these

Nice engine ornament Chrome not polished and a Shiny Oil Filler Cap - this was a start of a slippery slope

as it made the rest of the bay look neglected ( which it was )

Looking Better

and got round to fitting it like this

and I did put the screws back in

This car has adjustable Cam Pulleys so A clear Cam Cover would set them off right .... Came with a Chromed CAS Bracket too

Pulled off the Old Cover and replaced the bracket

Cant see much of this when the CAS is on but it refelcts back

So knowing my turbo pipes and induction kit were gonna come back Shiney Shiney

thought I would clean the rest of my bay ...

There's a lot of grease in here

Last year at show I bought a Autoglym goodie bag with all sorts of stuff in it , never used most - so now I have a chance to try it out .

This is where I started

Used the AG and some engine degreaser .....

ok but not that impressive

got the fuel rail cleaned up - Shiney - did use some Autosol on it - never again made it go all cloudy and blue !!!

the finished rail looked good - which means I have to clean the rest

Throttle / fuel press reg
