I seem to remember people were about to slate the thought of doing such a thing but in reality it looked quite good. Must admit I love the coupe fuel cap as it makes going to the petrol station a real joy as people look over. I think it gives the car a real classic look. However IMO the flush filler also looks good and can compliment other body, wheel modifications.

Do a search with his username and you should find some pics and i think you'll find it's a brilliant piece of work and really suits the shiny black car - probably not a mod everyone would like, but it's certainly lovely imo....

However, the chap who did the work on the filler cap said it was an absolute bugger to do. Simplified a new metal plate was welded into place, then the new filler chamferred into the new metal plate. The work the bodyshop put in was superb. End result - it still looks just as it came out of the bodyshop. Probably something to do with me doing less than 1,000 miles in the last 3 years!

Love the look of this car mate, congrats on time, effort and original mods. But less than 1,000 miles in the last 3 years?!?!?!?! Is it REALLY worth owning it??! PB #08

Is it REALLY worth owning it??! I've been asking that question a lot lately. Probably not, I guess. But I'd never get what want for her in terms of £££. So I'm happy to have the Coupe as my expensive treat.

You've obviously spent a lot of time and money on it, you may as well reap the rewards by driving it a lot more. PB #08
