A nice touch under the bonnet

Not performance - but it makes me feel good!
Found this cruising the older marketplace forum ads.
If only I could find an intake hose in Yellow but - red might make a nice accent color

Thought of that.....but the silicone hose has an alleged advantage in easier air flow and since they don't seem to make ignition wires in yellow going to red wires, intake hose ,and perhaps coolant hoses as well ....although I have to convince myself that I'd actually be able to see the coolant hoses once installed...could make a nice presentation.

Ok - now this is getting out of hand - has anybody done anything with their hood <bonnet> insulation pad?

Vacuum lines in yellow:

Induction hose from Samco:

Now just to get the radiator hoses...They show @ Samco coolant hoses for a MC. I'm not sure how different they are on the MCS.

I bow to your superior research

The Vacuum line set shows as N/A
But the others appear to be an option. Now I have to figure out the difference between a cool and a hot wire.

Thanks!

Who wonders how much yellow is too much.
