Help please!
Need to change my alloy petrol cap from an alloy one back to standard how do I do this?
I've read the FAQ about removing the key but how do you take the crappy alloy bit off?

Yes I've got the key out but how do you remove the alloy cover? It has to be a cover over the original barrel because I use the same key to open the doors and start the car.

No it's the same key for the petrol cap doors and to start the car but I've got an alloy petrol cap I don't get it either.

Could be this guessing it's a Citroen sport one then.
Guess I'm stuck with it.

So let me get this right in my head...
You have a petrol cap on the car which is an alloy one which opens with the car key...
You dont have another standard one which opens with the same key.....
IF this is right i would just respray the one you have in the colour of your car, otherwise i would imagine you would have to find a petrol cap with a key
