Howdy, i am trying to match my engine bay to my shell colour scheme of Kermit green with a black roof! i am looking for green silicone hoses to make this possible!?!

Does anyone know where i can find them??? the only colours i can find are black, blue, red and orange. :D

i am going to spray the engine block black to continue the colour scheme but i wil only do this if i can get Green hoses. otherwise it will have to be plan B, a green block with black hoses.

Any segestions would be a massive help!

Cheers

There's also SFS and I've seen somewhere that does kits for classic cars. I had some made by Highbury Hose years ago, not sure if they became Derby Performance Hose, both are listed on t'interweb
