A dude in the UK makes some metal slam panels that kind of neaten up... Could easily get them laser cut cheaper yourself too if you do the design yourself...

Yep, thats my engine bay up higher. You can buy full kits of those bolts from shops in Australia. I replaced most of mine with nice anodized blue ones. The covers come mostly from the UK. One of the club members topgun sells them (he's from the UK). You should be able to buy coloured covers for wiring on ebay. Look for aftermarket silicon hoses that are coloured. In my case, I made several of the covers you see in the pics above myself. I got them either anodised (aluminium) or powder coated (steel)
