Why dont you just spray the silver one the same colour as the car???

Saves changing keys....

and its that stupid sporty looking one haha

so its not standard like you said above?? lol

So in answer to your question

NO the locks wont change over :)

EDIT - so you will need the petrol cap AND the key that goes with it.

If you cant do that, its a dealer part tbh (i would imagine anyways)

well i no citroen did a "Citroen Sport" pack for saxo's not sure if it was an option from new, and they have now stopped doing them, but it consisted of a alloy fuel cap, alloy pedals and an alloy gear knob.

I have the gear knob.

If its from the pack it will have "Citroen Sport" wrote on it.

If it does not then no its nothing to do with Citroen and someone has jst slapped it on :)

put pics of it up, it might just be a cover over the standard plastic body coloured cap. does it use the same key as the one for ignition and doors?
