hmm that's kind of a toughy. You could repaint the plastic near the front of the car black so it looks new, you could try to polish the valve covers & intake, & I'll have to think of others & then get back to ya

first take a bottle of engine bright(foam) while your car is still hot so everything breaks down easier, be sure u avoid the air filter, than hose the engind down getting all the foam off. then spin em said take off the valve covers and intake, you could paint it blue to match your body, i think it would look sweet, shine everything else up and your all done

I argree clean up the engine bay with some brite foam, and paint your valve covers to match the body.
To make the plastic/ruber shine spray the engine bay down with tire shine (Try to avoid the filter)

It all depends on how indept you want to go.
First Engine Brite foam cleaner.
Second paint or polish all metal parts (including the hood latch, I noticed some rust on it so it will take way from your other detailing work)
Third clean/spray some plastic cleaner/cond on the plastic to bring back the shine or clean and paint it.
The reason why I say depends on how indept you want to do because there is pros and cons to both polishing and painting so it is up to you but I think you have a good start. (Don't forget your alt either )
