Gaulson Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just wondering if people could offer advice and point me in the direction of parts for dressing up my engine bay :) . I want to get my engine bay looking nice. Swapping hoses will be one of the things, not sure if I will powder coat the inlet just yet as I would need to have the car off the road for a while. Then I can start my own build thread :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny b Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Buy a new inlet get that powder coated fit ιt ɑnd sell yours! Replace all the hoses for silicone jobs, clean everything up job done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Simple yet effective! I will get looking then. I managed to find a hose kit, there are cheap and expensive ones.... Also cant find any that include intercooler hoses :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny b Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You'll have to buy them seperate sure someone will know the size needed! Also you can buy cable dress kits to wrap all the electrical cable in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Rally tech do dress up kits (bolts, stainless rad covers ect ) I wouldn't go for the cheap as chips silicon hoses, certainly and not if your looking to replace the under inlet intake pipe. As the cheap boost hoses have been known to "suck flat" under high boost . I've got samco stuff on mine which is expensive but , ASH hoses we're recommended by someone on here and I think I saw a group buy on here somewhere .

Gambit Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I went Samco too and the silicone hose I used for the gauge was off eBay. Think it was from these http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&selfil=2%2C3%2C1%2C9&selvel=Subaru~Impreza~2001~GD%252C%2520GG%2520%255B2000-2014%255D~-&_nkw=red+silicone+vacuum+hose+Subaru+Impreza+2001+GD%2C+GG&_sacat=0&_lncat=0&_arm=1&_armm=94&_ruu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2FCar-Parts-%2F9884%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26selfil%3D2%252C3%252C1%252C9%26selvel%3DSubaru%257EImpreza%257E2001%257EGD%25252C%252520GG%252520%25255B2000-2014%25255D%257E-%26_nkw%3Dred%2Bsilicone%2Bvacuum%2Bhose%2BSubaru%2BImpreza%2B2001%2BGD%252C%2BGG%26_arr%3D1&_armi=Car+Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You can also get ally catch cans, fuse box covers, header tank. Or you could dip/wrapall your plastic bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Must say this is the first car I've had were i am happy to spend money to make it look good :). Plan is to replace vacuum hoses and coolant hoses first. Also thinking of spraying WRX on the intercooler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
