Default Washer piping near wiper motor - photos please

Could someone please take off the cover and post some photos of the routing of the washer pipes as they leave the wing, pass by the wiper motor and join the scuttle cover. Ideally from a car where it is all laid out correctly.
Mine is very untidy and taut, so taut in fact that one of the pipe joints came apart recently, though a bigger cable tie fixed that for now.

I seem to have a shiny black (looks reinforced?) pipe that comes out of the wing (from the washer fluid tank/pump) then joins to a small grey unit (non-return valve?) then a 90-degree rubber elbow (by the wiper motor) onto the hard black plastic pipe along the scuttle cover.
I also have cable ties holding the pipes and heated washer jet cables in what appears to me to be non-standard places.

When my fan jet washers arrive I intend to tidy up the whole thing. A good reference to work to is what I'm after. Thanks in anticipation.
