I like the look of your engine bay. Is the rocker cover painted silver or is that stripped-back alloy? Is the washer bottle sprayed black or what?

Looking again, i see your plastic grille around your wipers is different to my EBII. Is yours standard EA?

hey yeah the battery is ugly but its a heavy duty one to run my sound system
yeah i sprayed my water bottle black and the rocker cover is just slightly polished alloy
the grill is a standard ea one maybe because its a 30th annaversary it might be different im not to sure it could do with some armor oil though
i need to do a propper clean on the engine bay get a new rocker cover and paint it midnight blue, polish the manifold and re paint the water bottle and top up tank silver

also do you think before i polish a good rub down with 1500 sand paper would be worth while

you could give the rocker cover a bit of a rub backk but at where its at now start with 600 grit-800-1200-1600-2000-2500-3000 then auto sol it.. and use a beffing wheel on it... will look great...

with the fuel rail.. mo need for sanding as there is no aluminum castin on it.. just straight auto sol the fuel rail...
