x444wrx Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 One of my mods I hope do to shortly on my black hawkeye sti is to tart up the engine bay a wee tad as im keeping the standard clean look on the outside of the car as she is mint. I already have some Cosworth goodies on order from Roger Clark Motorsport with all my saved up pennies and have my eye on a few carbon dress up items. The dilema I have is I want to upgrade all the hoses to samco's but cant decide what colour to go with!! red? blue? The car is a ppp so already has the red y hose under the intercooler so im just that tiny bit more swayed in that direction to keep everything the same. What do you guys think? Or has anyone got some pics of either a decked out engine bay in red or blue hoses to help me decide? All opinions welcome!! Cheers John
supremeweb Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 red all the way! will stand out better than the blue
StrikE Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Red for a black hawk would look good What about white?
sti pretender Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 RB268 has the red that looks good against a black car also Wulsey's old white car had red that looked really good.
JasonW Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I agree with red hoses, are White hoses easy enough to come by? Would be a pain in the ass to keep clean too!
colin_ross Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Just had a look through my photobucjet account and realised I don't have any decent under bonnet shots if my car. Will have to make do with this.
thefastone Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 You just can't argue with Black and Red...
Richie Cross Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Black and red for me too. Here's mine. Had the strut brace, battery clamp and bonnet holder upper all sprayed to match Edited January 18, 2011 by Richie Cross
euan_r Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 nah i disagree with most, id go blue or some other colour. think it would be too much red with the sti manifold as well.
scooby222 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 im with the big fella, reds too much with the red manifold - white would look good or how about do-luck purple ones for authentic jdm bling?
