Hi,
Thinking of up grading the engine bay. Currently has red silicone hosing throughout and I want to change it out for Orange coloured hosing to give a closer match to the body colour.
Can anyone advise where I could locate suitable coloured hosing premade to suit a single turbo set up and stock radiator hoses, or can you recommend a UK supplier who would make up hosing to order.
Thanks
Chris
Driftworks may have what you need :)
Failing that Viper Performance, SFS, and the usual Samco. But if it\'s a custom colour it may be expensive and take a while :(
Thanks
I\'m off on google to investigate.

Roose Motorsport in Lincoln do a bespoke service. I\'d imagine it would be quite expensive though. Website stock suggests 6 colours, but they might do more.
Hoses Direct in Harworth (border of south yorks / notts) stock alot of different silicone/rubber. I\'ve just been back here for some more couplers / 38mm radiator pipe (although in stock blue)

EDIT: SFS do Orange
mazdatrix do them i think : http://www.mazdatrix.com/C-SILHOS.HTM
or these guys do : http://www.silex.co.uk/special_colour.html
Samco used to be able to make to order and stock a variety of bends and straights.
They also do a bright orange like the Focus ST :)
From persopnnal experince Id only use a big name such as Samco and SFS. Viper seem good too as im using their hose ast the mo with no probs.

Thanks Guys,
Found a coolant set of orange hoses on SFS site for £80.
I could make the rest up for the intercooler pipes and boost pipes etc from straight pipe.
Looks like a mini project over the long winter months.
In addition, I\'m thinking of either clading the engine bay in polished stainless steel or (the easier route) of painting the inner wings and firewall in body colour (instead of the current black). Just to make it look better.
Then hiding as much of the stock wiring as possible under the wings.
Relocating the methanol pump from under the headlight, to somewhere else in the engine bay (although theres not much room).
Also the battery is located in the boot, thinking I may replace it with a gell filled type battery and put that in the engine bay, so I can redesign the location of the speakers and amps in the boot.
Can anyone recommend a suitable gell filled battery ?
I\'ll keep you updated of progress when I start.
Thanks
Chris
