Shaved engine bay tips Mk2 Volkswagen Jetta/Golf.

Unfortunately, it is not the best quality pictures, but this is my current before and after from the wire tuck and cable management that I did on my mk2 Jetta. It's still not what I'd want it to be, but I've hit a blockage in which I don't know what progress I could make further.
My goal is to hide as much as possible while still keeping functionality.
I'm contemplating moving my battery to the trunk ,other than that the only things which are still bothering me are the coolant pipes which I'd like to somehow reoute , even if to make neater if not hide fully.
Any tips / reference?

Battery to the trunk,move the coolant can or get new shiny one.windshield washer can in the trunk,re route fuel line/filter from underneath next to the framerail..perhaps it's not a good idea to hide those coolant pipes if this is your daily driver?in case something happens...but to make them look neater,how about changing the colour of them?part stores provide different colours of hoses.change all rubber hoses for silicone ones,match spark plug wires to same,etc.and fabricate a smooth cover for the cowl section to hide all stuff there.it's going to be cool!cheers!

Move the expansion tank over behind the headlight?

Find some back issues of pvw magazine for inspiration. Honestly I think it looks pretty clean as is. While shaved bays can look cool on a show car I would 100% not shave the bay on a daily driver you might actually need to fix something my on.

The wire loom is run along the funder of the car already.
