Default boost hoses

going to replace my boost hose (from turbo to intercooler)as the one has been fitted has been cut badly to fit,now all my hoses are blue but i am thinking of putting a red one here as they were red standard,do you think it will look right anyone done this and got any pics? or should i just get a blue one?

Matt Lewis sells hoses and from experience they fit miles better than Roose, i had to get a specially made one for my Airtec 100mm and the fitment is so much better than the Roose i fitted a couple of years ago.

Also i would go blue unless you change all of them for the RS500 style finish
