When you see cars with coloured hoses they are not painted that colour they have used slicone hoses that come already coloured. If you want to pretty up your engine bay you could buy a braid kit. With these you get lengths of stainless steel mesh tubes that you slip over the top of your original hoses, they come with special ends that are sometimes coloured. I think Halfords sell these kits. If you really want coloured hoses then I think you should shop around for some silicone hoses that will fit your car. The braid kits look like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

Done mine with Samco hoses from Fensport. Clicky here Quite reasonable considering the amount i had to do. It`ll be cheaper for your car as you don`t have to worry about the turbo hoses etc.

Also you might consider getting some alltrans alloy cleaner on the engine cases and gearbox. Carefull tho its potent stuff. :D
