Could you not get someone to fabricate a metal coolant way so that you could have it running under the slam panel?

Then have a hose meet it near the headlight?

to support/route the coolant over the manifold

thinking maybe just black hoses (at a later date)

its the neatist way/ shortest route, the way i have all ready done it

if i was to run it alone the slam panel,i dont think i would come out right?

black hoses then i wont look so bad i think

the plug cover/strut brace are staying as run with my theme, arden blue just dont match the hoses!

The pipe is doing it job Warrenz, it's only because it's new it stand's out. Either leave it to age, which it will very quickly or paint it to match the rocker cover

gettin there, glad you choose silver !

both rad hoses corsa b

coolant bottle astra g, with one long astra g hose cut up

standard springs/caps - had to draw the line somewhere with money, if i when steel rod/high comp pistons would of cost over twice what the complete engine cost!

i dont see the problem with the pipe infront of the rocker cover. the car is being made to drive i imagine, so when the bonnet is shut, you cant see it.

if it does its job, thats all that matters.
