Depending on your planned body colour perhaps using this colour in the engine bay.

Wait till you see mine in terms of how a colour brings it up. Obviously mine is a bright colour but I think even a mid colour would still be great and a dark colour would look good just not be as servicable for the reasons mentioned earlier.

I like the look of stainless covers but am less a fan for all that extra weight.

This is probably less an issue for your car but mine weighed in at around 1250kg for engineering I think. I've yet to add paint, 2 x rollbars, fake side pipes, uphosltery and whatever else to finish it off.

Could be closer to 1400kg at the end hence my reluctance. The fat porker driver is enough extra weight to begin with!
