Polish ya cam cover, i did mine looks the bollox, took about 5-6 hours though, i done the one on me old engine and halfway through doing the one on my new engine, gonna finish it when it comes back from the mechanic, you can basically hand polish every metal item under the bonnet, i even did my air flow meter, gonna do ABS cylinder and all metal brackets next

you can rip the yellow bit off and you're left with the black bit under but you need a screw driver to remove it then.
I'd say mild cams and exhaust manifold

cavaliers come with aluminium oil caps, get one of them from a scrappy and polish it up, will look a bit better.

it been removed cos of the mantzel power box, cos he has lost the upper inlet manifold it looks pants with the plastic cover on cos there is a great big gap where the old manifold used to be

Looks nice 
You cant use the cav oil caps as the fitment is different.

I gave u ideas before 
Firstly, i'd look at a Mantzel cam cover, just like the original one, but without the gap where the manifolds go. Its a straigh line in front on the M box. Look on my site for the one Donnas got.
Suspension strut covers, again, look on my site under Donnas car.
That battery cover looks far too big? Get a bigger battery or smaller cover. Also look at a battery surround. Pics on my car. Bout £20 at shows.
Stainless header tank. I've got a Bailey one, Donnas got a custom made one from Mirage (strut caps also).
Washer bottle, again, Donnas got one, Mirage again.
Full silicone hose kit. Would bring it up a treat, also getting a 45degree one that fits between the M box and ind kit.
Exhaust heatsheild. None are officiallty made, but you can re-drill a 2.0 XE heatshield to fit.
Thats about £300-£600 so far.
