They will last a lot longer for a start Peter.
They have less elasticity than rubber but I don't believe wider clips are essential - best check that with a silicone hose supplier though. If not done already, it's also a good time to change to stainless hose clips thumbs

I do like hoses in blue...

Cheers,


yeh, I like blue as well but with a red car it seemed to be introducing too many colours under the bonnet- hence black. Of course, there was also the major decision as to whether I had them with or without a logo.( Or, as one member of the Surrey posse suggested, 'to chav or not to chav'!) The compromise was WITH logo but a small one!!
