do not just buy one of the dress up conduit kits. Just put some time in cleaning and degreasing the bay and it will come up well. If you want to tart up the engine bay get a strut brace. It may actually do something as well unlike a dress up kit!

My experience of engine bay "dressing up" is that if you buy brand new, good quality hoses and replace the old, tired ones it looks good and purposeful and like a well cared-for car.
If you slap loads of plastic sheathing all over everything in a garish colour it just looks a bit tacky and like you're trying to polish a turd particularly if everything around them is still grotty and perished and crusty.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

Totally agree with this. My current build ATM I'm trying to keep everything looking oem and clean. This to me looks better than colored stuff. Saying this though is just an opinion

Thanks for all your help, as far as hoses etc are concerned .. My top hose (being 21 years old) has gone a bit soft and gummy as they all eventually do. Was wondering whether anyone knows of somewhere which would sell a silicone one as I'm already going to have to replace it anyway?
