I have had my Tuscan for 3 years now and apart from adding a ally rad and silicone hoses I haven't done much to clean up the bay. The rocker cover looks original, im thinking of having the rocker cover and tanks all powder coated in black crackle finish. Have any of you done this to your engine bays.
Cheers

I did this to mine while I had the cam cover off for its 12k service last year. Colour coded the cam cover to the car after hours of trying to get the rough marks off then sprayed the plug cover in black crackle finish. I then milled the letters over to reveal the bare alluminium. I also did the same to the fuel rail and milled over the ribs so they stand out against the crackle black.

Edit: no idea why the pic is upside down!

Looks good, I think I may wait until winter when I can take the car off the road for a couple of weeks
