Hi everyone. Just been cleaning my engine bay area and all around the battery area so I've had the battery clamp powder coated and new bolt bought. Just wondered if anyone has come across a battery for the car that looks good in the car or some sort of cover as don't want to put an old yucky looking battery into a nice clean battery area.
Cheers Colin

Just get some sheet aluminium and make a cover up, can either then polish it or paint it. Its easily done, or if you are good with a mig, make a steel one up.

Cheapest option would be to clean the battery, fresh grease on the terminals, clean up the battery tray and surround first and your done.
