What are people's thoughts on silicon water and intake pipe work colours. I have a black coupe and the cam cover is red. Now I could go black for the standard ish look or go red or blue. I have not really seen an impressive engine bay with red pipe work yet so please if anyone has one share it. I have always liked the blue colour but not sure it would suit a black le. What are your thoughts?

There seems to be a growing trend towards original looking Coupe's stevo - even if you are upping the performance. Especially with LE's. As such I'd stick to black. Not that I don't like the coloured ones but it just makes it more identifiable as a modded car IMO.

My old Moon grey Plus. Yes it looks modded but didnt think it looked over the top and the silver on the rocker cover broke it up.
But thats my opinion and my car and everyone will have their own preference. All the best with the decision.

Hmm I can see myself ending up with black to have the standard look even though it is a little boring. However I do like the blue.

White hoses look great on a black car but good luck keeping them clean. I think black is a safe, classy and future proof look.
