Engine bay tidying
Discussion
Firstly, a picture:
This is how it is currently. I have an OTR CAI on the way, eventually hoping to relocate abs module and battery, then shift those coil packs away.
In the meantime, I'd like to replace a few of the various ugly lines with some nice braided lines etc. and possibly relocate the ugly power steering reservoir.
What size line does the reservoir use? As for the new location, does it need to be anywhere inparticular? Higher than the pump for example? There any complications with moving it?

You still have the engine covers?.....i have had mine airbrushed along with the massive expanse of plastic slam panel...(pictures due soon)...makes a big difference to the overall appearance of the bay !
Nah flogged them, I want to get rid of the coilpack mess and get some polished valve covers eventually, so no need for plastic cover. Once I get the OTR in there may planning to get a radiator cover made up in CF so that'll help that mess out 
I resprayed my engine covers red. Went from this:
to this:
Was going to mess around painting the recessed areas around the 5.7 Alloy V8 script black with red lettering, but decided just to go for straight red in the end. Just cost me some wire wool and sandpaper, some plastic primer and some red paint. I put some high temp engine paint on initially but didn't like the finish and was concerned that it would never cure, so rubbed it off and just used regular car spray paint, which seems to be holding up so far.
