Engine Bay Colour Coding - Pics

[pdcupra]

right, made a start on giving the engine bay a spruce up today, started by getting some cable tidy to cover up fuel lines and other non - vacuumable lines!
heres a few pics, i know there's a few more to do, but still point out what needs to be done! next im starting with vac hoses, but need to know the I.D for them?(help!)
next i will be polishing the inlet, rocker cover and intercooler pipe and buying a strut brace, and im gonna fabricate a decent battery cover and wash tank cover. Any advice will be appreciated, hope you like

thought id show a nice night pic!

For anyone interested iv given the link for the hose - some are a tight fit and have to be placed well! Not looking forward to the next lot - my hand are pretty shredded already! lol! Thanks for the comments people, ill keep updating.

Turbo-Boy: the engine bay is clean"ish" not exactly show standard though! and why didnt you convince darren to get blue forge tip? iv now got to get a blue one and have the hassle of changing it!!

although they do look good, isnt it gonna be a pain in the arse if anything happens to the pipes underneath.....when they start to decompose.lol

 

[pdcupra]

well they are protected from the elements now! and they are split right down the centres of the covers, all i will have to do is snip the cable ties off!

 

[gavthelad]

fair enough......thats all i needed to know as im just starting to make mine look a bit more pleasing to the eye, just wanted confirmation that they're hassle free really.

well spotted.

 

[pdcupra]

the only hassle i found is fitting them! my hands hurt!

 

[gavthelad]

thats a sign of honest work.lol

 

[lil3520]

might get a set in red for my FLASH RED LEON.

 

[gavthelad]

yeah im thinking of red also......already done vac hoses in red, waiting for my tip to be fitted which is also red so i may as well carry on with the red theme i spose.

 

[pdcupra]

thats my general plan. Dont suppose you can tell me some of the vacuum hose sizes?

 

[gavthelad]

i replaced my vac hoses from the n249 (although its coming off soon) and everywhere else that i could with 3mm internal diameter silicon.

 

[pdcupra]

got any pics?
