They're all like that. It's cos of the steel water pipes running the length of the car from the engine to the rad.

I thought blue caps were the ones to have for the water expansion tank.

I think for performance that would work well, cos in the other pic you can see a large roof scoop to feed air around the engine and through the 'cooler. Does nothing for the asthetics though!

The starting point for this thread was that the front of the GTA does not look quite right. Renault obviously agreed so they made the A610 and that is perfect. Now I would say that wouldn't I? :lol:
Driving an A610 is just so sublime.
