pretty easy to do if your logical.

label up all the loom and you will be fine.

colour - whatever you want depends on the car

been done thousands of times before. polos are extremely simple in relative terms so you will do well to completely mess things up.

just make sure everything goes back on clean, without paint everywhere and seals properly [eg new gaskets]

also use etch primer on the ally head and High temp paint.
