help and advice chaps!

Im going to spend a few quid tarting up my engine bay, where can i find the coloured hoses, s/steel clips etc? And im going to send my engine cover to my mates bodyshop to get painted, does it need special paint? Heat proof or anything? or can we just use ordinary bodywork paint?

If any of you got any pics, that would be cool. Probably thinking of Blue silicon hoses/induction intake, with yellow detailing?

i dont think ordinary boady work paint wont take the heat, stuff like smooth hammerite etc will though.
stainless steel clips (i assume you mean jubilee clips) can be found in alomst any shop like halfrauds, or tool shops etc.

for hoses etc, samco do them - blue is their main colour.

dont use hammerite on your engine it cant take the heat. you can buy engine laquer from motorworld works a treat costs £6 and paint it while the rocker cover is still on.
then magnacor leads (in colour of your choice)
samco hoses (colour of your choice)
hill power bend colour of your choice
