There's nowt wrong with it. I just think it's a bit much since the header tank, washer bottle etc are all blue.

I've seen much worse, that I was scared to photo as I value my eyesight.

Pink would look good seen it a few times on a silver scooby
Black suits bright colours
Orange
Lime green
White ( hard to keep clean )
Blue ( still popular over the years )
Red lots mix it with blue for a stunning effect


Must admit I would love to see the blaze made up with red and blue
That would really have the wow factor on your engine bay

Excellent results can be complimented by rally-techs bolts and coloured washers a bargain at under £40 and battery brace and bolts
Check out the SN group buy at the moment

Once you start it's addictive though


Or you could just park your car up and neglect it and keep the original hoses untill they split

Thanks for the comments (And getting the thread back on track ) As funny as the banter has been its nice to see some reply's helping out with what I am looking for

Pink would look good seen it a few times on a silver Scooby - Think that would look good against a black car, and something a bit different
Black suits bright colours - Got a Black car so kind of seems pointless expense ??
Orange - Different, Hadn't considered it, another colour to throw into the car that might not work ??
Lime green - Has per orange, Gold callipers, Blue seats, Pink STI badges etc...
White ( hard to keep clean ) - Could be a very good contrast, Have a White front strut brace
Blue ( still popular over the years ) - Like my reasons for not wanting the blue car, too popular (Nothing against blue scoobs) but still like, and think it would work with the blue STI seats
Red lots mix it with blue for a stunning effect - Sorry can't do red because of Football reasons

I can imagine it will become quite addictive
Already gained a few more ideas from some of the reply's on this thread

Oh I was expecting at least +5BHP from blue ones

But dam I have to say Black does look good, really quite like that

I do feel I am now slightly further away than when I started
Gone from either Blue or Pink to now, Blue, Pink, Black or White

I can only wish to spend the amount of money you have on your car.

Actually, I left it off the road because you can't have fun these days on 4 wheels, so I've had to make do with a couple of bikes and my latest toy.



Looks like a nice council estate you live on there, are you claiming hooky benefits to fund your car addiction?

I cant believe your gettin so pi**y at people, just because they like to make their cars look abit trick and then maintain them?

It's a bit of a work in progress, very slow progress mind.

It'll get there, and maybe cleaned in the process.
