Be careful putting covers over hoses they wont cool down as quick as they should and may cause it to insulate more than it should also.

hmm yh fair point, its only pvc plastic and shouldnt cause much heat shielding should it? also i carnt find any hose kits for a 1.2 only the st's -.-

also just spoken to the seller on the hose kit the plastic cover ones, he said hes sold hundrends of sets and no one has said anything about over heating and they have tested the kit on a running engine and there is only a slight temp increase of around 2 deg and they got in down again by 5 deg by adding better coolant to the rad to overcome the effects so i think im going for it and see what happens lol

Adding better coolant? In other words using more water / less coolant. And I hope they didn't measure the temp using an IR laser on the hose, if it's insulated more it won't show the correct temp. Pvc plastic does insulate a fair bit.
