All this stuff was painted red when I got my car. I'm probably going to be repainting a lot of it next summer. Obviously all the pieces come off somehow, but I haven't tried it myself.

You can also paint your valve cover (which is on my list of things to do also). There's a DIY here but it's for D-series.

You can paint almost anything in your engine bay.

Just make sure you get high temperature paint for the parts that get hot, like the valve cover or engine block.

you should get a dress up kit, it comes with these covers (NOT loom) that you can cut to whatever size you want and put them over hoses and wires and it makes it look really clean

Another way to give in some cool accents is buy a kit of silicon hoses. I painted a few parts on mine and put some silicon hoses and it realy gives the engine bay a nice accented look just dont over-do it.
