Right, so I have put my hoses on this weekend :) gotta say with my blue throttle body forge pipe and these water pipes the engine bay looks shweeeet :) and they are great quality!
There isnt really alot to say on how to install them, its just common sense... Take off the front bumper, drain all the coolant first and squeeze a few of the pipes to get most of it out then find the ones that are the same shape as the ones you want to put on and get on with it :)

I am annoyed at this but I didnt use all the pipes because the pipe that goes from the coolant bottle to the engine block looked like you had to take the front of the car off to access it, so until I have a genuine reason to do that I will keep that pipe spare... or until someone can do it, i may just be being silly.

The only thing I would say is make sure the bigger hose that is nearest the radiator fan does not end up touching it because it will damage it like mine did -_- wasnt paying attention. Now I cant edit my photo in paint because I dont have it so I will have to describe what i did to which pipe. I had to cut about 1.5 cm off the pipe below that is furthest to the right which allowed the pipe near the fan to straighten up and not touch it :).
