Tequipment Gas Cap : Find The 7 Differences.

I had the chance to take a picture of the new fuel cap for the 997/996 and Cayenne.
The cap looks different than what is shown in all the brochures.

This is the gas cap as published :


Here is what it really looks like :


One of the differences is that the gas cap is not painted plastic, instead the cap is covered with a thin layer of aluminum.

Well, the lettering for Porsche is not black fill, the arrow is different, the 'turn to click' is upside down on the real one, and lined up with the arrow instead of above it, it's polished instead of matte, 'dremen bis click' is also in a different place, and the arrow is different as in the bottom one.

Now, is this a fuel cap that goes on the inside of the fuel door? If so, why would you spend all this money on a beautiful design that sits behind a closed door on your car? It would look nice on the outside, but that would disturb aerodynamics.

Impress the full service attendants at the gas station!
But would they notice?

Attention to detail. At least you will see and touch this piece every week, unlike some carbon cover in the engine bay.
