Help needed, 3 things that look crap in my engine bay - excluding the blue hoses as black ones are being made to match the ProAlloy ones -

1. Brake fluid reservoir
2. Orange heat sleeves
3. Heat shielding below cabin window

Any solutions?

Would love to cover the heat shielding with a strip of carbon - anyone done this?

Thanks tony, I've been following your carbon adventures, when you say 'I have' do you have a solution? I will PM Adrian W thanks

Mine doesnt have the heatshield on the bulkhead. Looks much nicer body coloured. Don't care what it's meant to do, the car is fine without it.

I'd suggest your list of things that could look better can be added to.......perhaps with everything pro-alloy related matching in black instead of shiny!

It's a power steering reservoir BTW.

Thanks, that should help me find it!

I am sure Graham GC1 does a very nice stainless cover for the 2.5L engine .

Jetstream should have a 3L bottle but they do leak and are generally not as good as the one you have .

Sorry to go off topic a bit, my larger PAS cooler seems to have worked a treat at the weekend, didn't loose any fluid at all!
