Not got one but they do look good, BUT we don't have a clear engine cover like the R8 so not much point in my book ?.

Did you specify what car it was for to the seller?
You have to do so as depending on what car you intend to use it on, he splits the cap and aligns the top part so that it'll sit correctly on your model car.

The cap will be fine even though the top part it isn't ideally orientated.
You can try splitting the cap yourself but you can break the plastic in doing so as there's a "special" technique required.

For the extra cost of postage, you could try contacting the seller and ask him if he would be willing to "fix" you cap.
