roose motor sport hoses on, havent come out how i expected, maybe should of just gone new standard gm ones

not to keep on the small blue hoses, seem to big and stand out?

corsa c header tank mounted up, and a astra z20let metal coolant way modifed to reroute the hoses across front of engine

doesnt look that bad apart from the metal pipe that runs in front of the engine and the pipes either end of that. maybe if you could somehow hide that then it would look alot better

They just clash with the strut brace and opc cover. Spray the strut brace anthracite, and the OPC cover silver with a black opc logo imo Hoses are fine in blue though.

already cut the hoes to fit

standard the coolant hoses run around the back of the engine to the tb, easiest way/most direct was that way

can think how else to do it, thats how the z20let runs....

cant realy paint the strut brace/opc cover different

when tbs are on, might take your eyes off it

all got to use jubilee clips on the thinner hoses as gm clips dont fit, will look tacky

I dunno man, that metal pipe is absolutely disgusting. Just looking at your bay I'm not sure how you can avoid it.

You could (bear with me)... remove the battery and put it in the back, remove the tray, mount the bottle where the tray use to be then run that problematic pipe behind the TB's?

but function over form and all that
