Black or blue hoses for my car?

[zed4]

I can't make my mind up!

Do I go with all black hoses, or blue? I'm upgrading the coolant and induction hoses with ACT products.

What colour is the car?

Iris Blue

I was going to go with blue, but I think I've been tempted to go with black. I don't know who make them.

[Jonny cobra]

Got to be blue. .......

Black for me.

[MisterT]

All down to personal preference of course but for me it has to be black, looks more classy and understated imho.

Deffo black.

I had blue and changed to black.

Call Tim at ACT.

I went for blue and a stainless swan neck from ACT.

It's not that I don't 'get' the coloured hoses.
I just like to keep things looking original.
(Chillidog will be reeling with the shock if he reads this )

To the extent that I eventually acquired all the original rubber hoses, with TVR part numbers, via several sources 2 years ago.

No pictures, She's no prize to look at under the bonnet anyway.
But I would stick with black.
No offence to others (much ), but I've always seen TVRs as a 'serious' sportscar, not a tarts boudoir.

Black does look understated, like a TRV should be!

I just checked my paperwork, mine's Iris blue also! So stick with the black hoses.

Always down to personal choice these things but ...
I'd stick with the black hoses.Gives you a base to contrast your rockers/plenum with later

+1 for Tim at ACT (and his intake kit), top top bloke. Give him a call see what's what.

Darren, thanks & yes I was at that wet car park in Bedfordshire on Saturday. It was unfortunate but as many have said nice to put some faces to names, felt a bit for the happy campers though & glad I only live 8 miles away ! Did you get back ok ?

Contacted Tim at ACT and he's been great! Looking forward to receiving the new silicone hose kit in black, silicone plenum elbow, induction hoses, carbon superflare trumpets and a new splitter!

I agree, I have blue but not particularly keen now. Here are my blue ones but like others I think black looks more classy...

Oh I don't know nothing wrong with a bit of bling even though I got the shade wrong after all who's going to see it when the bonnets down seriously if you want to go for the standard understated look its got to be black
