Help..Samco hose colour choice..?
Going to start replacing all the hoses in the engine bay for Samco hoses, the only trouble is I can’t decide to go for blue or Black.?
Car is a White Hawk, Don’t want to “Chav up” the engine bay with silly colours but my preferred current favourite is black but it’s a lot of money to spent without a lot of visual enhancement if you know what I mean. Hence my consideration for Blue
anyone got any pictures of the above colours to influence me, here is the engine bay at the moment:-

I'd go with red Lee as I think that colour suits a white Subaru best, however black would also fit in nice but a bit to close to OE for me to consider, if I were to spend that sort of money on hoses I'd want them to at least stand out.

Cheers guys, defiantly some food for thought here as Red was not one of my original choices but in the photo it does look good Ty and not to in-your-face
So a mixed choice by you all….Dam I got some deciding to do

Thanks for all your replies guys
I have made the decision to go for mainly Black and may add a couple of Red ones to break it up a bit and add a little colour

Right a decision has been made and the first batch have been delivered, I went with red in the end even though I said I was going black, I think they will add a nice splash of colour to the engine bay with a good contrast:
So delivered were
Auxiliary hoses X 13
Coolant hoses X 2
Air box hose X 1
Just one question to change the Auxiliary hoses and coolant do you have to drain all the coolant out of the system?

Nice to see my pic swayed you over to the side of good taste Lee , mine have always been changed out on a major service where the coolant was going to be dropped anyway.
Personally I'd drain the coolant, fit all the hoses and then refill with fresh coolant and then bleed the system - at least you'll know then that it's all 'burped' and good to go.
