Colour coded engine bay.

[Danaxeman]

I'm looking to change the pipes in the bay but I'm undecided on which colour. My Leon is red so I'm thinking red is a bit overkill so maybe blue? Has anyone tried blue hoses with a red body and do you have any pics?

Ha, I'd forgot about this chart! Interesting, now I'm stuck between blue or green.

Any links for decent suppliers/sellers?

Cheers

Black goes with everything.

Black goes with everything.

Yes but it isnt a colour, and he asked for a colour

 

[Danaxeman]

I wouldn't fork out for black, I want the bay to look like it's had work done ha

i thought 'red and green should never be seen'..

I started doing mine blue but thought it looked a bit crap so I've done most of the hoses red now.

So you would say that red in the bay isn't overkill?

Red on red isn't overkill at all.

I have a red TIP and red cone on mine, just need red upper boost hoses and I'm done.

 

[Danaxeman]

Has anybody got a picture with the red hoses?

 

[andycupra]

if you go red then it needs to be a good match, as if not then it may not look right.

I think red/black is a good combo generally, however it may not stand out as uprated/aftermarket as other colours do.

I've got a "performance" blue cupra and have gone with blue hoses and was looking for another colour for the engine bits, finally settled on orange thanks to that chart.

Has anybody got a picture with the red hoses?

I can't take a pic of mine as it is in the garage until tomorrow morning when I pick it up.

You could have a look through these two threads to get some ideas:
