Oil filler caps

Post by malcster » Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:40 am

What available in NZ..want something a bit nicer than you see on trademe as all the same or similar with different packaging and dont mind paying a little extra for something nice.
The mazda speed ones seem to be red and my engine bay is silver and blue so a silver one with blue badge would be perfect.
seen this on ebay and what do you guys think?

I like it and it seems to fit. You'll have to imagine it in this engine bay as I don't have a photo of it in the car:

I picked it up online from the states. Probably Rev9. I can remember the day it arrived but not the company I got it from

I like the Blitz one but I'd ditch the sticker as I don't like branded items unless they're subtle

I will point out that the cap gets ridiculously hot if you try take it off after going on a decent drive (oil change time)
