Default Wasted spark

I have almost convinced myself to fit a wasted spark kit to my 3 door, only thing putting me off is the leads as I want my car to retain original black leads, is there anything I could do, either modify coilpack or leads to suit, or even anywhere that supplies black leads to suit, I have modded a few things on my car but like to do my best to keep it looking standard and the blue leads are a definite no for me. I was planning on trying to mount the coilpack under the inlet manifold so it isn't noticeable, is it safe to have the coilpack mounted to the engine or is the vibration to much for it.

Any advice appreciated

I'd think the coil pack wouldn't appreciate the heat from being engine mounted, depends exactly where you mounted it though I suppose. You can get black leads made up, can't remember where from though.

If you've just got std weber gear at the moment, you may be better off looking at aftermarket management

How easy can the coil end plugs be removed/refitted? Just thinking of heat shrinking...
Could maybe mount the coil under the scuttle, with a waterproof cover?
