Default Steel Braided lines, fuel and brake.

I have been looking at buying steel braided fuel line and brake line, but full kits, there are some fuel line on ebay, the is from tank to fuel filter or as far as the injectors. I messaged the seller if they could do me a kit for fuel tank to filter and a full brake kit from servo to callipers, he said he could but there would be a problem fitting the brake lines, as they wouldn't fit in the clips under the car, how do people cover this problem, with out using cable ties as I want it looking a bit neater.
Any tips on fitting too?
Cheers all

Ive got braided fuel and brake front to rear and used original clips, well new original clips. Old ones were brittle and snapped. New ones were fine, warm them up a bit whilst your pushing the braided in if it looks like there gonna snap.
