I am on a buget and wondered what i could do or buy cheaply to make it look good. Will save for bigger mods but wondered what i could do in the meantime.

The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
could you clarify your budget too?
If its £50 then not much more than a panel filter, but if it's £1000 you could do alot of the common ones.

carbon fibre covers, billet caps, forge hoses, stainless bolts, polished manifold / charge pipe.
take a look at sixpot's engine bay. looks like mine, but MUCH, MUCH cleaner - looks brand new

agreed,
also note on the forge hoses you can get the uprated coolant pipes now. they can look very nice.

charge pipe and manifold make a great difference.

What are you talking here..
Engine bay performance mods or engine bay bling
read post #1 and #2:
"its engine bay mods" as in looks. not performance.
the title in a little missleading.

Just a little... ok i'm clear now, well it is monday
For a grand you could replace the hoses with forge ones, carbon engine cover again forge, shiny suspension turret tops, carbon manifold cover, polished alloy washer bottle, etc, etc.... shiny dump valve, relocation kit etc.
That you see you right side of your budget, i would have thought.

£1000 budget, id say you can get the engine bay looking good and remap it*
*yes i know this is not a performance thing, im just pointing out that £1,000 to make the engine may look good is a very large budget.

sorry about that.. yeah i want some bling. . . .
It only the normal black pipes and boxes in the at the moment.
And you will have to excuse me becuase althought i am a great fiddler and like to do things with cars,,, the engine bay is my weakness, so forgive me for not knowing a great deal about anything in it. lol

A carbon enclosed air box like the BMC CDA is what ya want! Around £150-£180. Looks good, Sounds good and improves performance!
My point was, If his budget was that low, there wasn't much he could do under the bonnet!
As i had no idea of his budget, i used a panel filter as E.G off the top of my head.
Besides, if you take the lid off the airbox it WILL look better than a paper filter
DUUUUHHHHHH
I tend to keep my airbox cover on...I've obviously been doing it wrong all these years

Well it has to be on if you plan to take it off!
