I *think* this is a mk3- it was taken a couple of weeks ago.
Ditto.

I'm liking the GT, I wonder what exhaust manifold it's got on ?
Seems like a strange way of tuning a G40, still it looks shiney.

No way can I hope to match anything above (oh the joy of 1,000 miles per month) but I had a go at cleaning my engine bay up a year or so ago. Bit of scrubbing and polishing here and there and this is the result:
I've since moved next to a building site though, so it's boggin' again.

Exhaust manifold really lets it down.

That looks a bit like mine Rob.
We be
Keepin' it Real.
But seriously, those pics I've posted- The guys drive their cars to and from meetings/shows/gtg's. That's it. There's no way you can keep it that clean and shiney without sacrificing the daily drive. How much fun is that?

Yeah, nice to look at... and there's no denying that they've spent a lot of time and money getting the engine bay to look that good (first posting), but not something that you can live with everyday.
Personally, I'd be happy if I could find someone willing to polish my rocker cover. Not a lot to ask, but I've had no joy so far...

My thoughts exactly.
People I've asked want silly money for it. Not worth it IMO... Perhaps I'll have a go at it myself over the winter period.
