Default Chaving my bike up

Ok, I'm going to chav my bike up a bit seeing as a nice new set of Hel yellow clear braided brake lines turned up today. On ebay they have these:

Which are all nice and they do them in yellow but do you know if there is anything a touch cheap out there (in yellow) that I can put on?

By the way anyone want to swap a black hugger for a yellow one? (curvey 99 Pearl Canyon Yellow)

£68 for four hoses! Roger me with a spanner! You could alwatys get some nasty coloured tyres and some rim tape if you really want to go to town.

ooops...

lol - yes I agree they are way to much money and yes I'm sure there are better things to buy and tbh I wont be paying that sort of money but I do fancy changing the colour of bits to match the yellow of the bike. (In a kinda chav way as said) I just think that a few changes here and there on this old 99 curvy will make it more personal. I didn't by it to keep it standard but nor do I want to go way over the top and spend loads. I'm also not going for practical, a top box isn't for me but I can understand that having one helps if you need it.

If you know of somewhere else that does these hoses or similar in different colours that would be good to know before I change the coolant as I can do them both together.

Many Thanks

Yes for the suggestion Nicky, just had a look and they are 60 quid for 99 curvy so still rather pricey.
