Default Tidy bay
Any ideas on how I can tidy my engine bay. Just looks all a bit stock (except BOV) looks like it needs some extras.

There is a variety of aftermarket hoses available for the breather system, coolant system and turbo inlet system as well as different caps for the rad and oil filler pipe.

I think they look a smart engine bay when kept relatively stock and it's all functional. Keeping it clean, although a bit of a chore, is the best way for a tidy bay!

If you do all the vacuum hoses be careful as some have valves, restrictors etc in them but they're certainly a good way to start. Replace any rusty fasteners with stainless, then it's blingy battery clamps, Oil caps, stainless covers for fuse box etc.

It's a lot harder keeping a classic engine bay looking tidy as everything is exposed

Strut brace always adds to the under bonnet look
