UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I want to make my engine bay look good with coloured hoses etc, so im just after some pictures of people engine bays so i can decide what to do with mine

thanks

it's not a road car i know



or before the N/A went bang


might give you ideas though

Why ruin the standard look. Best you can do is replace boost and coolant hoses for your choice of colour on silicone.

Any other mods just look tacky.

In your opinion it would be tacky and ruin the standard look, but ive seen plenty of engine bays that look great with coloured hoses, and that have been decorated up abit and im sure that other people have too, just havent seen any on the polo and wanted to know if anyone had done it before to give me some ideas.

Here's one for you.

I have used black silicone hoses so they don't stand out much but you get the idea.

This is what I'm talking about, looks brilliant, that's a huge cone filter in there

Good man.

If you haven't already got the coolant hoses just contact James @ Amber Performance to order a set.

Well its pay day next week so ill check it out when i get out of work, would the coolant hoses be the majority of them in there? i know there the tip which i can also get, but is there any other ones i can change?

The coolant kit is half of the water hoses.

Other than that you'll have to check other cars and work out which ones you can use as Samco sell each hose on its own if you can get the codes

Brilliant, thanks for the help man ill have a look when i get home

If you look at the SAMCO hose group buy in this polo section then you will see the photos of some blue ones on my car...

They look really good mate, are they all from the coolant hose kit?

Yep, there are 6 hoses in total but I only put in 5 as one of them looked particularly hard to install, the other 5 are easy, but they are a good kit and look really nice.
