Hey guys if you wanna have that tuner look under your bonnet from fast and the furious with all those blue wires and hoses, then all you need is blue electrical tape...

To do this you need to cut long pieces of blue tape off and cover the wire with it long ways...

It is best if you can to take off the wire/s or hose and do it from there much more room and time give then to perfect it right...

step 1. cut the tape in long pieces (measure it according to hose/wire/s)

step 2. take hose/wire/s off and place them down

step 3. slowly line up your tape straight to the side of the hose/wire/s

step 4. apply it slowly to perfect it

step 5. make sure its on nice and firm, with no tape bits sticking up or off

step 6. apply the hose/wire/s again back to where they came from and your DONE!!!

THIS SHOULD TAKE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10-20 MINUTES DEPENDING ON HOW MANY HOSES/WIRE/S YOU DO...

its not the best thing in the world but its a lil good DIY that gives you that tuner look and neatens up your bay abit more

POSTED 1 PICTURE UP A POOR ATTEMPT BUT YOU GET THE DRIFT OF IT.... sorry guys didnt know how to upload properly and like i said dont expect the best thing ever lol :P

if any questions PM me and ill help out...

Cheers guys Michael

Lolol! wouldnt this melt and leave sticky shit afterwards? good thinking but way tooo ghetto lol

it would get sticky later if you take it off but if you dont care and and you wanna have a good laugh its not bad to do i didnt actually do it on the hoses i just did all the wiring and it looks quite good

As above, wouldn't this melt ?

Interested to see what it looks like.

well it might get sticky but the idea is to do a number of layers on it, preferably dont do it on the hoses just the wires i find that works best photo's will be uploaded soon of a couple i did under my hood

radiator hose + gaffa/clothe tape = adhesive everywhere which melts. but good to see thinking outside of the square!

well i actually said it wouldnt really matter if it were on wires but hoses maybe isnt such a good idea, i have them on my wires in the engine bay and ive had them there for a few months now and their not melting off or anything but yes if i do take them off it willl be sticky but im not fussed coz the wires didnt look much better before...

That's cool man,we just really need pics to see the finished product.Any mess is ok,as long as you can clean it up,if it's worth doing in the first place

if you used blue electrical tape, it should be rated to V90 standards. this means that it can handle up to 90degrees Celsius for a short amount of time before it starts to break down.
so really you shouldnt have a problem about melting tape where you have used it around the cables in your engine bay, unless you have used it around the exhaust area.
