This was fitted into my classic but the idea would be the same for most cars.
Cost was around £3 for the Alli strip from B&Q. Took all of about 15 minutes to make and fit.

I wouldn't bother fitting a small extinguisher as they will do nothing if a fire does start. I have a 2ltr fitted in mine and that would stop most fires if caught in time.

Zero 360 gas in mine, dont want foam all over the car and seen too many horrors where foam hasn't extinguished a fuel fire, saw 2 guys empty 2 x 2ltr foam onto an engine bay fire and it didn't do anything.
