Thank you to forum member 71eh for the idea. Wish I could find his original post with his pix.
Something practical. And it dresses up the car a little bit.
The oil and water caps in the 718 Cayman are not labeled. There is no symbol to tell you which is which. Until you remove the caps, under which you find another set of caps that are clearly labeled.
I went to Minuteman Press and ordered these.

I've got a second set as backup. I want to see how these weather Texas heat. And I also have to skew my eyeballs to get the alignment better.

Is it nostalgia that prompts people to put a 'Water' label on the Coolant reservoir? It has been decades since I poured water into a car.

I could/should have gone with "coolant" instead of "water," but my brain fixated on water. Next rev, maybe. I just think it dresses up the cabin a bit while helping to remind me what is supposed to go where.

Nice work!! Here are mine you were referring to.
Perhaps for your next revision, get vinyl printed on transfer paper (transparent, no black backing).

If he printed "Coolant", the text would have to be a bit smaller to fit. With "Water" the text/size would at least match the "Oil". That at least was my rationale.

Porsche itself labels it WATER on the RS, doesn't it?

Yep! I have the RS caps on my GTS.
