Looks great. But your pictures reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask. How come newer cars, especially expensive luxury brands like ours, come with those dinky tire valve caps? And why are they green?
We've purchased our Q7 and an E400 Cab in the last year and they both come with those cheap, plastic caps that are green, whereas our cars, also BMW and MB, came with more premium-feeling caps. And they weren't green.
Is it some sort of regulation thing that they need to be green? Is it a money thing that they aren't something that feels a bit more solid, or even metal?

Ours came with nice large caps with the blue/white nitrogen symbol on top.
