Default Hose colour choice for a nouveau engine bay??

I just got myself a mint nouveau red saph that has blue hoses under the bonnet, I'm not too keen on the blue as I don't think it goes very well with the nouveau red.

What colour would you choose? I'm thinking going black or the purple ones. Can't find any pics on the net with the purple ones on a nouveau saph though to have a looksie

I quite like blue! Didn't have black silicone hoses when I got mine, many years ago.... Rekon black would look cool if the tanks were black too. Seen purple hoses before, not sure on them?

Def a lean towards black then,

Kevin I have always liked yours and have used the crackle paint on my white cossie, I like it and was planning on maybe using it on the red saph but I think that and the black hoses might be too much that's why I was thinking about the purple
