Colour Covering Engine tubes

Has anybody used something like this?
To cover up there hoses in there engine to make it sort of colour co-ordinated?
Clicky - Ebay

and i thought it'd make the engine bay look very tidy a sort of modified feel but originial

Certain tubes like the radiator ones i'd be covering (cutting and cable tieing them on) - but the HT leads i can easily unplug and slide over

Would of thought the end result would look fairly good

Hmm Hmm

Looks tidy - with a good clean and tidy up and possibly covering these the tubes up would be one step to keeping it a good runner

i've seen it on a few cars and i think it looks cheap, i'd go for the stainless overbraid kit, its more work but would look better.
hellfrauds and motorworld sell them
