Other than looking damn nice in the engine bay - why would I want to add these to my list of upgrades?

Well more power requires better hoses so if you are planning on keeping the car standard then don't bother unless of course you want to make it look nice :)
But I don't think any of us on here can say they have a standard car lol :)

nearly standard (back box) but won't be soon.

My dealer fitted mine FOC because 'they add no extra performance'
(I knew that !)

presumably you had to pay for the hoses? Just not fitting.

Still, pretty sweet of the dealer to fit for free. Still takes their time!

I have seen 4 top hoses go on mates cars in the last few months (seems to be the weak point!)

If your uping the boost it would be a worth while investment as the std intercooler hoses aren't strong enough.

A std top hose cost me £20, the hole Samco coolant kit is only about £50. So if the cars getting on it may be worth thinking about replacing them.
Plus they look awesome:D:D:D
