Anyone got any pix of colour coded redtop engines? Im thinking of getting mine done black with a red spark plug cover, and the "Vauxhall DOHC 16v" bit done in silver. What do you reckon?

don't get black

get a contasting colour, which in your case will be white. it may be a bitch to keep clean, but tough cookies

i only thought black cos the whole theme of my car is black and red (interior, SRi badge, calipers, corsasport stickers etc) and wanted to continue the theme. I need to see some pix for inspiration though!

That looks tacky - I've seen it done a lot better than that and prices weren't too bad either.
