Default Great MOD: Audi R8 oil cap for D2

I know, I know sometimes you're dreaming about Audi R8. Only sometimes though.

Well, now you can have genuine Audi R8 oil cap on D2 -- the best car Audi have manufactured. Ever.

Pictures:











Part number 420 103 485 B can be ordered from Audi or purchased here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161361956878 for £25

The part will need a very subtle modification so that the cap sits the right way around. Modification is very easy to do. The eBay seller can send you modified version if you only ask for it. They do it free of charge.

New cap is also better functionally, as is sits a bit tighter. Perhaps only because it is new.

Actually, didn't open my engine bay since I came from Scotland meet and changed oil immediately after it. Then was buried in some house projects, so car felt a bit lonely...

Jim,

Make sure to message the eBay seller that you want the modified version.
Otherwise the cap handle with the oiler pictogram will sit ~30 digress off the horizontal position.

Yes, I did that. Thanks. But I'll have to lick the engine bay clean before I fit it!
