jimboy2 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Right it's time to do some dressing up under the hood. Can't quite decide on what colour to go for yet. Gonna start with some conduit to wrap around the existing cables and go from there. So far I have a carbon dipped slam panel and carbon bonnet lifters. Really don't want it all in carbon tho. Want something that pops. Car is silver with tan interior so instantly wanted orange but as someone on here has nailed the orange already wasn't sure of even attempting it Any ideas please shoot!

GMballistic Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Silver goes well with lot's of colours imo. It's all been done before so it's entirely up to you but green, red, purple etc etc all go well. Fyi it's a bonnet not a hood unless you're American of course.

pjf1985 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sorry to go a little off topic but wow look at this for a clean bay! How about going with gold if you aren't sure about orange? Will still go nicely with the tan interior then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Haha Doesn't look like that any more GMB. It's evolved a bit. There's more orange. Huh??? There's an orange strut brace for sale?? Where? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you get more orange than that without respraying the entire car orange? Strut brace is identical I think to the one you have. Linked just in case you weren't joking and wanted to see it.

jimboy2 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Still not sure on colour. Thinking maybe purple. Can't find purple conduit. It's out of stock with the dude on ebay. Will look a bit harder at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the plenum my friend..... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87942-a-splash-of-orange-and-a-dab-of-carbon/ OP - My first attempt at my bay was grey and silver. Which looked classy, so nothing like me. My bay reflects me a bit more closely now I feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look a bit harder at some point Purple is a good choice I'm in the process of getting rid of my purple and have purple conduit (from boost junkies) and tape brand new in packet which I no longer want, pm me if you're interested and I'll send you a pic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 So decision has been made. I'm going yellow. Conduit on order. Now need to hunt for some of the hoses. Bit of a problem I have no idea what's what or what they are called. Like the S shaped one above in blue what's that called. From the radiator? Is it easy enough to change or will things need draining first? This is gonna be fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Vix Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Samco do a set of yellow coolant hoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Will need to drain for the front s shaped hose as you describe it. As Voodoo Vix suggests take a look at Samco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
