Do all S1 coolant tanks look discoloured or is it only mine?
It really spoils the look of the engine bay but in every picture ive seen they all look grubby!

Oi, what’s wrong with this then?

It’s just that with the standard ones, you can at least keep an eye on the coolant level. I don’t see the benefit of an alloy one.
