Aluminium Fuel Cap Silver (Options and Pictures if you have)
Hello

This one isn't even something I was looking at, the other day the Boss said 'your fuel caps very ordinary, I'm surprised you have not changed that'


So in my book that's the same as saying, Your NEED to purchase a modified one...


I quite like the idea of this being Silver Alloy as my car is all black. The Optimill one is the obvious option? (I know overfinch do one but I quite like my kidneys..)


This one is around Ģ60? and the quality of the side vent I have is very good, any other sensibly priced options? Thanks

Nice but expensive. Also unless you tether it, chances are it could get left behind at a petrol station. Not an area I'd want to chuck money at

I think that Optimill one looks great. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Better, in fact than the Overfinch one, and cheaper than the LR anniversary one.

And I think fitting an aluminium cap to a well looked after and cherished Defender is more than ok. Thumbs Up 1998 Tdi 90 SW,

I'm thinking Chrome alloy on my Black car? as Black would look no real difference?


It would be in the safe family as this which I like and the quality is great.
