More Airbrushing - Battery Tray

So with the impending MOT (tomorrow in fact) which I knew the ZS would fail due to an insecure battery (amongst other things) I decided to remove the battery tray:

As you can see it is rusty, what you can't really see is the bolt is "welded" in place and the bracket and tray itself have been bent by the previous owner to be able to remove the battery (thanks!) So we decided to strip it down and rebuild it with a bit of Airbrushing, nothing fancy but as its the ECU housing as well, although there is a flip colour sprayed over the top that goes from green to silver to red to orange in the sun (very nice effect that the camera can't show!):

And then fitted it to the engine bay... Now I have a fully working engine tray again with stainless steel nut and bolt to ensure it doesn't seize up again!
