Do it right and you pull off a convincing motorsport style look, do it wrong and it looks like a cheap respray lol

not a white car, but the only time i think ive ever seen an nova with a different colour engine bay and it kinda works..
mind you it does have the anthracite grille/bumper to set it off with..
there was that orange nova with LET in T.V years ago that had a white engine bay that looked quite funky, but yours already is white lol
ide leave it dude, youll need to clean it up first, before painting - so just clean it up and leave it lol

As on the Red car above in Peesters post.
Not Black but a metalloic gunmetal like all the vauxhall works cars.
Grey works on some cars, but it just doesnt look right on a white shell IMO

i ended up painting it white as i didnt like the way the way it looked.
repainted chassis legs and under firewall black, think the white is much better.

id leave it white tbh, helps locating leaks/checking for damage/creases/the bay pulling itself apart easier
Did mine black as I was too lazy to touch up the scrapes in the right colour lol
