    All you have to do is not tuch it. A bit of a buff with a clean cloth is all it needs ti be supoer shiny.

    It shouldnt corrode. (i hope)

    imo the biggest thing that lets it down is the exhaust top pipe (think thats the corroded bit).. if you cant afford to replace it, could you maybe paint it (with heat resistant paint etc)??

    I have a clever device I call 'the bonnet' - saves time worrying about what the engine looks like.

    Why bother with a bonnet? Much better cooling with no bonnet!

    Of course, if you have a carbon one it'd survive 130mph impacts with just a little bit of popping back into shape afterwards

    No. Only carbon ones, because race cars like Sklines have those and they are rear wheels drive.
