Title: GTI silicone hoses
Post by: J13YME on July 05, 2012, 10:21:05 pm: Hi everyone

I was wondering if there was a company who sell a full set of silicone hoses in different colours to fit the standard GTI as I was thinking about tarting up the engine bay

Many thanks :happy2: :happy2:

Post by: perky85 on July 08, 2012, 11:22:10 am: I may be able to help aswell on this.

I deal with a manufacturer up the road who may offer good discounts if the numbers are good.

Post by: Tfsi_Mike on July 08, 2012, 12:22:57 pm: My only concern would be that I'd want to use a known brand. I.e a brand known for reliability of product. Or worst case known for after care if the part goes wrong.

Reason being for something solely aesthetic, if it perishes/ fails then it causes problems not to mention labour repairing

I understand your point completely. Have used them on a few track cars aswell as show cars with no known issues.

Viper hoses are used on a 1200hp car right now which I know of :driver:

The person that said he could help me makes hoses for noble and mclaren so I'd trust them on my car
