R8 Header Tank and Oil Filler Caps...
« on: 18 April 2013, 10:46 »
Has anyone fitted an R8 Header Tank Cap to a GTD/GTI?  I believe the caps have different pressure reliefs?  Don't think they cost that much and they look pretty good i think...

I take it the Oil Cap should be fine, no probs...

Sorry, not being funny or anything - but the point of this is what exactly?

Pics would make this thread sooooo much better and would also probably mean I end up buying some!

The R8 ones do look nice but I'm happy with the Forge ones too.
