Blue Or Red Hoses?

[Unregistered_User]

Good morning,

Just out of curiosity, which colour of hose do we think would suit mine in the engine bay? My IS is strath blue.

Trying to decide whether blue or red would look better...

Cheers,

Jamie

Red :)

Tough choice, think it all comes down to personal preference. My choice would be blue on a blue/grey car and red on any other colour.

blue

hmmm, i'd say blue also mate.

i was having this dilemma the other day as my IS is riviera white so i guess any colour would go.......now i'm stuck between blue and........yellow :o

Everyone seems to get Blue, so I would say get Red to be different.

But it seems silly putting Red hoses on a Blue car.

Sorry not much help am I

they do hoses in more colours than red and blue

why not try and be different :)

i agree bazza....i was wanting purple at first but then found it difficult to find other things to match - for example, the upgraded hoses for the s/c only come in 4 different colours. If you want conduit style hose sleeves then they are hard to get in certain colours, etc etc.

If dave did the upgraded s/c hoses in purple, i'd snap em up :)

what exactly is the purpose of the hoses? Does the colour make a difference to their performance?

no.

so go with the colour you most like. No rocket science ;)

Yeah, they give you an extra 1-2bhp like the go faster stripes :)

the point I was making was it is a pure asthetical question, one which is hidden for 99% of the time, and only the owner will really see.... so really its all down to him...

Now if he'd asked whether he should get a TTE or electric supercharger, I may have had more of an opinion.

[Unregistered_User]

Fair point, but was just curious what colour other members had to say on the colours. Maybe even the inclusion of some photees :) Like Lee's supercharged engine bay with the blue piping. That does look very good in my opinion.

My IS is black and im going to go for red hoses, personaly i think they would look (for want of a better word) tacky on a blue car, I would go for the blue or purple if you can get um!
