Carbon Temptation....

Post by mark758 » Mon Aug 25, 2014 10:31 pm

Shouldn't have.....
It's not really worth even the sub £500 ebay price....
You can't see it under the bonnet....
...but I'll know it's there....so I had to go for it :P

Looks well buddy. I will be going for high gloss black on that particular part.

R8 oil cap is a nice touch too, are you tempted by the matching coolant cap from Porsche?

Or the R8 one?

I have the R8 power steering cap too but it required butchering to fit the B7. Might be a straight fit for the RS5.

For some reason the R8 coolant cap comes in at an eye watering price, the Porsche one matches nicely but is a fraction of the price.

Ouch it's only £104 for both caps at my local Audi dealer.

That probably makes sense

I'm sure awesome are adding some mark up on the price so you could get both for just over £100. Just amazes me how much more the coolant cap is!

I tried the R8 coolant cap but it was a really tight press into the bonnet insulation..... did you relieve the felt insulation out a bit ?
