The blue hoses are the problem. Red looks good, prefer mine in black with black Samcos but nice to see something different

Yeah, i wasnt a fan of blue hoses either but they came on the car and looked ok with the blue cam cover. ideally i wanted black coolant hoses and RS500 coloured boost hoses with red cover but. its all money though

probably just stick with the blue cover until I can afford to change all the hoses as well.

The blue looks good with the blue hoses but imo the red will look better with black hoses 👍

I think if you are keeping the engine bay standard then it has to be red but I have always like blue with blue hoses.
