Or does it count as "Dress-up"?
Was just thinking of using some of it to replace some of the Black wiring Loom tubing thats on the engine.


Anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells this stuff? I can't find it anywhere!

Hmm . . . . If used carefully, maybe not . . . . But I think there's a very fine line, there . . .

Looks chav to me then again i think any braided lines look chavy unless they are brake. Just got all my fuel lines in this morning and stayed away from the braided for 2 reasons the 1st being extra weight the second being the chav factor

I'd steer away from it unless you have a very clear and definite image/goal in mind.  

It has to be a part of the 'package' or theme to look right, and not just a cheap shiny thing chucked in there.

A 'Vision' - that's the word I was trying to think of.

I agree, by itself it might look a bit odd...

Fair play, nice to get some opinions

Just to complete the stock Loom.


I used insulation tape at junctions . . . . . . . . Those do look better, though . . .

Every time i have seen them they are always unclipped or hanging off also a little bulk for my taste

Nothing a little dab of super glue wouldn't fix . . .

again, was thinking the same thing...
Not the sort of thing i'd like to order from summit though, seems a bit excessive to have to get them from the US.

If you find anything - I'd be interested in a set . . .

F Body

Available at most Chav Shops in a variety of colours

Mind you the Maro has a fair bit as standard factory fit

I've got some metallic silver convoluted tubing - in my PC!
Along with a neon light.

Bit too much for a car though, I think.
