Default Can you buy ????

Been looking to dress my engine bay up a bit more lately and am a bit stuck for ideas. So was looking in the bay the other day and came up with an idea to dress my black rubber hoses up. Things like the fuel lines and catch can hoses.
Don't really fancy swapping them out for brightly coloured ones but like the idea of metal braid.
So, is there any available that just slip over the original pipe work ??

You can buy it, but you have to remove the pipework to do it, plus it's dearer than coloured new pipes

Yep guessed I'd have to remove all pipe work to fit it which isn't an issue. Just fancied something different than the normal bright red or blue hoses.

Any idea where I can get some from buddy ?

Seriously though Matt I wouldn't bother with the pull over the top braid mate it really is a PITA.
Better to get either coloured silicone ones or proper braided hose

Your probably right buddy, just thought that if the over braid stuff was cheap it would be worth a shot.

Got it all sorted now.
