Why would you want a radiator cap from another car? Cosmetic reasons?
If it's that, you can order a cap cover from kspec, if not I am not sure but radiator caps should be standard but for the pressure. I think ours is 0,9 or 1 bar, be sure not to go for a higher pressure cap though, in case of heating you would want the extra pressure to get out of the cooling system through the cap and not through a hole in your radiator after it blew...

Go to Advance Auto Parts and pick one up, they have them there. Myself, and my buddy who has went through(sold, not totalled) several Turbo vehicles use them.

Look for the ones with the red lever on the top. They work well, and i have no problems.

Kspec.com has several aftermarket Radiator Caps.

If you want a special LOOKING cap, get the Jspeed, it fits right over your OEM cap. Looks great. I've got one. Let me know ifyou want pics.

<span style="color:red">sure i'd love to see pics!

EDIT: i went to kspec and they have the apexi and the blitz one that i was talking about. i'm looking for the blitz one in red though...not blue. i like that one. i guess it's just called type 1 then.

EDIT # 2: ok so i searched out the difference between the blue and red, and apparently the red one will not fit our cars...only the blue one and obviously i don't want blue. </span> smile.gif
