Cheers man also uses a bit of engine spray paint but its made such a difference when ppl see a 14 year old car and you open the rear bonnet to a sparkly engine bay shows you can take care of a car! Also if i were to buy another mr2 and saw the owner had taken the time to clean the engine it would make me think has taken care of the car.

I think a few of us did this towards the end of last summer. Break caliper paint from halfrauds and a lot of masking, does the trick!
