The plan for the engine and engine bay is to keep it fairly standard, not totally shaven like many show cars. The exception being the hidden wiring and relocated battery.
We'll be going with chrome/mirror polished components, everything except for the block, with gold plated highlight pieces, mainly fixings, in order to create, what should be, an extremely beautiful engine bay.
Initially we planned on just sticking to mirror polished components but that's pretty common these days. The addtion of gold plated highlights should, hopefully, lift it above the majority of engines. We'll be doing all the mirror polishing ourselves. I had considered trying my hand at gold plating but it's fairly pricey to get setup and so decided to leaves it to the experts.
