What could i do to improve the looks of my car under the bonnet, since the pic i have changed the cam gasket and degreased the engine, what else could i do relatively cheaply? :D

i used cheap primer on all of my engine then painted the block black hammerite "smooth", and the head and gearbox silver hammerite "smooth".

I dont know if it will be as good as VHT but i was told from a few folk its just as good as any of the proper stuff.
