Title: Silicone hoses - full set
Post by: dadrathers on 01 April 2012, 19:05

Anybody used these guys before?

Full set for £200 seems reasonable.

They have a big following with the Ford RS boys.

In red I would agree - but what is most interesting is that they do what they call OE Matt black - which suits me fine.

Thanks for the replies so far.

I agree about the money X4MGS - I am from Yorkshire too.

If I could buy all the genuine VW hoses then I would not hesitate - unfortunately according to the latest ETKA only 3 out of the nine hoses are still available. VW heritage mainly have repro ones and still don't have a full set. GSF and other e-bay sets get bad press on here.

So no choice - or have I?

Cheers.

These are made by another company and just branded. Samco do the same thing and just add scene tax
