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!

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?

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
