Default Oil Filler and Expansion Tank Caps

Ordered Porsche oil filler and coolant expansion tanks caps. Looks much better than the black plastic caps. Now my car about 10 more mph top end, theoretically, since my car is governed at 135 mph. ;-)

Sorry for the blurry expansion tank pic but you get the idea.

Any functionality differences with these caps, or are they just aesthetic changes only?

Default An easy 5 MPH each no doubt

I read it on the Internet. Ten if you could get the hand painted ones off some Porsche new car order list for a 4x $ premium.

For OP (and from a few weeks back the yet earlier post), does look sharp BTW, particularly the more visible oil one.

It's just for vanity.
