He needs to clean all the rubber/plastic in there and put a less tired looking radiator in to be truly impressive..

It just looks chaved IMO, wrong colour underside of bonnet, hardly a nice engine bay.

At least they have a boot full of spares :D

It is not chrome I don't think, this is polished aluminium or am I wrong :?:
looks nice though, I bet it took some time to get it this shiny :bling:

Agreed with Dan, looks like chav'd up crap! Only done half a job as well, some shinny parts surround by lots of old tired ones!

Looked crap - if he wants to do a good job, not only would he have to change all the things the guys have already mentioned, but needs to change that dirty screen wash bottle and include some fresh cleaning fluid in it! :D
