I know, but that’s why I like it, fairly subtle!

Thanks! If you keep your eye out on bay you should find one for less, I’m sure I paid £18

be wary of the Ebay ones, a recent member on here bought one and it did not fit

IMO, for peace of mind, I will be getting the one off the Awesome GTI site, as it is guaranteed to fit

Mines from bay, it’s genuine and fits fine. They have to be “modded” to fit correctly (another member pointed this out to me) but mine was already done so………

thats my point....it has to be modded, and it is an ebay member modifying it...

just never heard any issues from awesome, and most ebay ones are fine I am sure.....but for a few extra quid it may be worth it purchasing from awesome

what has to be modified on it anyway?

Mine was “pre-modded”, so not to sure. Had a little look and found this.

The audi r8 oil cap depends on where you get it from, eg awesome gti have already modified theres to sit the correct way around, on the r8 the engine must sit in different and the oil cap faces the side. if you have brought it from the dealer which i did to save a few quid it isnt modified and has to be taken apart (very easy) it clips apart, use a stanley knife and cut around 6 grooves and clip it back in so the top is rotated around a bit so it faces foward.

so basically if you dont "modify" it, it just faces sideways. nothing major then..

How about a Neuspeed one?

[Ronin225]

the neuspeed one looks ok but its also very expensive for just an oil cap

 

[stpete]

These are great but with the pound/dollar situation not cheap!!

Love this one mate!

 

[Tyler Owen]

I had one of these too ... pissed up ebay purchase !!

Looked good though

The neuspeed and the other cap that was linked to are only covers for your original oil cap, they are held in place with grub screws. The R8 one is a complete replacement.

Just posting as an FYI
