How much can be done on an SPi with AC to tidy it up? Here's a picture of mine in it's current state. I am ordering a stage 3 kit so will have a brand new redhead and chromedome (chrome rocker cover with chrome T-bars and cap) but not sure what to do from there. Seems so crowded in there. By the way, a lot of these hoses and wires and even the radiator look pretty clean. Can anyone comment on which parts look like they have been replace in my bay?

A couple that I have done

Wheres that cover for the bulkhead from?

Its just cheep abs carbon effect plastic from ebay.
Sold in 4 foot by 2 foot lengths.

I put this on the inner wings as well and cut the vent holes for the rad. Easy and effective mod.

The rocker cover was a one off carbon jobbie done by a local (read not a mate who works at lotus) car company

The air intakes are easy to make and will work with all inc minis with a servo brake master. There was not enough interest for me to produce these in the end.

I know that engine bays a show car, but what have you done with things like choke cables, speedo cable, fuse box, wiring etc? Would be quite abit of work to relocate all that stuff...

The wiring loom runs along under the wing on the inner arch and the fuse box is then re-located to inside the car behind the dash. This is an easy mod and recomended to all.

Everything else is still there but routed to the underside of things and moved just out of your eyes immediate view.
It gives a "clean" look.

Simple and effective and doesnt cost anything to do, Plus keeps the fuse box away from damp etc

Something a little different for you chaps....



....unfortunately it's a lot blooming dirtier now! There's a few things I'd still like to tidy up a bit more, mainly at the back with the wiring and the relays plus I'd like an alloy rocker cover on there too.
