    Just a clean. Engine bays can look 'over done' sometimes. I do like a totally chromed engine bay. But generally. Keep things clean and minimise colours. IE, not garish pipework, nasty coloured bits and bobs here and there.

    For the above? Mmmmmm, maybe just a chromed inlet.

    No need to dress up the M-Power units IMHO

    I even liked the standard bay on my E36 318 IS until it hit a tree

    Oh right!!! You're in 'valet' mode! lmao

    I'd say tyre foam does wonders for the engine plastics and rubbers.
