wrap it round the loom, tidy it up a bit
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 26-07-2012
Wrap it around? Don't you push the pipe thru it or something? I don't know how to put these kits on lol
RE: dress up kits - samass - 26-07-2012
they are split down one edge, you just shove it in
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 26-07-2012
Ah nice. Will that one on the link I posted be the same?
RE: dress up kits - samass - 26-07-2012
the stuff you posted is just replacement vacuum hose/breather hose
RE: dress up kits - Eeyore - 27-07-2012
i got a red conduit kit and its such shit. I bought it and its sat in my shed ever since. Its more or an orange than a red and its cheap and tacky as hell! I wouldnt bother!
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 27-07-2012
why is it shit mate?

"Its more or an orange than a red and its cheap and tacky as hell! I wouldnt bother!"
I'd go with that reason.. ^^
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 28-07-2012
I know that haha didn't know of it was shit to fit or something
RE: dress up kits - Toms306 - 28-07-2012
It just looks crap mate, and the idea is supposed to make it look better surely lol?
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 28-07-2012
Will get one and see what's its like. Wouldn't know where start with replacing hoses
no doubt it would 100x better than a dress up kit
RE: dress up kits - Daniel306 - 28-07-2012
It add's 50hp straight away

Replacing hoses would look much better than a dressup cover kit tbh. I was gonna do it with mine but lost all motivation.........would've all been the same colour as my DIY boost hoses then. Not cheap though, especially fuel/oil hose!
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 28-07-2012
Exactly lol as I'm not doing anything tuning wise I don't want spend loads on stuff like that. Next car definitely. Just want something that looks vbetter lol
RE: dress up kits - Toms306 - 28-07-2012
Meh, save your money for the next one then lol..........or spend to get it sounding nice with a cone filter/exhaust.
TU engine bays never really look good tbh.
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 28-07-2012
What is a tu engine exactly haha.
Just want to make it a little less drpressing haha.
And it's only 20 quid
RE: dress up kits - bowers - 30-07-2012
just looked, didnt realise conduit is ribbed!
if i got some silicone tubing and some green cables ties, cut the silicone hose down one side and did the same as you would with conduit, would that work?
RE: dress up kits - samass - 30-07-2012
yep, be about triple the price tho
could always wrap it in different coloured insulation tape if you wanted
dress up kits - bowers - 30-07-2012
No the dress up kit I first posted. If I cut that down the side
RE: dress up kits - samass - 30-07-2012
oh right. possibly not. might not be thick enough, but i cant remember what gauge those pipes were. youd need atleast 20mm pipe to cover the thicker parts of the loom id have thought
dress up kits - bowers - 30-07-2012
Ah right
looks like it isn't happening then
RE: dress up kits - el sid - 30-07-2012
If your after proper colour coded hoses check spooks Motorsport I had mine made in white by them in silicon expensive but worth it tho . And they do green , red , and blue off the shelf made for the 306's

Like how much mate? And do you have to measure all your pipes?
And can't find spooks Motorsport?
