Default Hose Kits

Looking to brightening up the bonnet area with a bit of colour (going red) and change the stock hose kit.

Is Samco a good one to go with or do others have good alternative and if anyone has links for good reliable place to purchase from it would be appreciated?

It's for a Hatch Sti.

Thanks in advance.

Probably always best to go through a seller. Samco do do some wonderful colours though!

Hopefully 1 or 2 companies may hold them in stock rather than 2-3 week waiting time

Yes also the raditor hose kit and the new one that came out from the pas section
19 hoses in total
Expensive maybe but thats the price to pay if you want something badly

DONT BUY CHEAP!!!!

Samco and SFS are both great parts, however, there are solo many cheap nasty bargain parts out there.

Changing hoses can be a knuckle skinning pain in the butt of a job, and there's nothing worse than going through all that blood and cursing getting the old ones off, only to find that the cheap replacements you bought off eBay don't fit. Go with Samco, they are expensive but they are top quality and as long as you buy the right ones, they will fit perfectly.

Samco seems the best shout and the ones I had in mind anyway. Just trying to find out who holds stock for Hatch.
