Gretie22 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ebay have loads of red silicone intercooler hoses, not sure if they are branded but tbh i wouldnt be too fussed if there not, half of the stuff traders sell are from hong kong anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) http://www.sfsperformance.co.uk http://www.viperperformance.co.uk 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 Edited June 24, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretie22 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
