Title: coolant tank changed and Porsche 911 cap installed
Post by: Nino on 29 August 2013, 15:11
Done this little mod today, was sick of looking at a yellow coolant tank and crappy cap so i spent £35 and got to work, and did it without looking any coolant as well :)

is that just a standard tank with a 911 cap? i.e. if I buy the cap can I put that straight onto my standard tank that looks brand new still...
