Right need a need top rad hose. I've found a rad hose kit in red which I'm going to get as I'm going for a red theme under the bonnet.

The question is.... These other two hoses pointed to with arrows in the picture, where will I be able to buy these from in red?

I'm also spraying the spark plug cover red and have sprayed the ends of my strut brace red (obviously not fitted yet).

I'd use one company to do all the hoses you want too and then the colours will all match and they'll

have the same logo's on them

 

I personally wouldn't use unknown ebay stuff and stick with a company like i have linked to above, both

do custom individual hoses as far as i know which you will need if you want the other two hoses doing

The stock IC hose on the left you can see has an extra reinforcing hose around it to prevent it from ballooning under the pressure, I'm not sure if the aftermarket ones include this, so if you do replace that hose then I'd swap that reinforcing hose over as well. Alternatively you could replace all the IC hoses with aluminium ones with red couplings.

Thanks all, I would get aluminium ones but they're much more expensive. I've found a kit with all red hoses now, haven't ordered it yet though as my brother reckons it will look chavvy :(

So does anyone have a photo of an engine bay with coloured silicone hoses? So I can see what it'll look like.
