What hose colour?

[stu1986]

Hi all

as most of you know I have got a 370Z yellow and I am looking at changing the hoses under the bonnet but dont know what colour to go for, dont want to go for blue or red as I think it might look a bit like lego and clash with the colour lol.

 

was looking at some white hoses, dark green or even camo effect?

Please not camo, that's horrendous!

 

Any reason why not yellow?

[stu1986]

because if it was going to be yellow it would have to match the same colour as my car or it will look wrong and unfortuantly im a bit of a perfectionist, at least if i go a completly different colour its not going to annoy me lol

[stu1986]

they do one called viper red which is nice or the gunmetal grey

Blue and yellow together are two of the most complimentary colours apparently, it has something to do with them both being primary colours I think.

Pink.

[smudgedon]

Purple.....

As Papa said, blue and yellow do compliment each other.

Yellow hoses would look good with the yellow car, as long as the hoses (and any other yellow items under the bonnet) were fropm the same manufacturer/same shade.

But of all the colours, gunmetal is the best. Fact.

Lime Green

 

or Gloss Black or I agree with glrnet Blue would work

The Samco hoses you can see coming off the coolant system on mine are Viper red if you're keen:

Blue would be your best bet, then do your calipers blue and get an exhaust with titanium tips

 

Then finish the car of with some blue tommy k badges

Cheers Colin - beat me to it!

 

I've run with them now for a while and can report it's all good. No issues at all, definitely a worthwhile investment.

You could ask the different companies for yellow samples.

Got a flyer for these the other day, never used them though.

Paul T had dark red touches on his liquid yellow zed and it looked great. Something more vibrant but still dark would look great
