Replacement windshield fluid cap

I'm dressing up my engine and wanted to know if there is a billet blue windshield fluid cap out there...

Subb’d because I haven’t been able to find one. The G8x used a different neck and cap. The F30 is larger and fits over the neck in a way that doesn’t seal. I believe with some modification (an inner gasket of some kind) the F30 could be made to work.

I used the Blackline Caps from GoldenWrench Supply on our Portimau Blue M440

IDK if the M340 has the same style as the 440, but the Cap for G8x series fits perfectly. You simply remove the OEM cap and the aluminum one has an o-ring and installs/seals into the neck perfectly

Not to highjack the thread but I don't get why the 440 got the strut braces and M340i didn't.

There are threads on retrofitting this here on the forums if you're interested.

I ordered and tried this one (same as the S58/G8x) but it's too small for the G20. I ended up retrofitting an F30 cap by using a larger gasket.

Yeah, for under $100 you can have them too. I did the retrofit. Super easy.
