I want a pretty engine bay and one that is going to last, baring in mind my car is 13 years old now.

I painted the radiator cover today as it had rusted. I sanded it down and used hammerite smooth. Three coats and it looks bloody awful. I think i'm going to buy an RCM cover to hide the embarrassing work i've done.

I've searched for samco hoses and i'm getting a little confused.

There are so many different sets and so many different prices.

I'd like something like this

But i don't really want to spend £500 on hoses.

My questions: -

Where are the best/cheapest place to buy them?
Are they beneficial except from looking nice?
Which kits do i need.

I have a version 4 sti

Thanks in advance.

I brought mine from eBay few month ago,but these from Japspeed or Toyosports are good quality too(Silicone Induction Hose have 6 ply and don't collapse under boost) and radiator hoses are also ok...

Keep your eye on ebay and the for sale sections, there is always someone breaking or selling them.
Got mine on the cheap

Always a bargain to be had if you keep your eye's peeled mate,i did pay the earth for my hoses.
Most of them come off Viperperformance as mentioned above,good quality products.
