Did MSFITOY use to have one? It might have been someone else, but I know someone here on NAM has one.

I've seen a couple MINIs like this. Not sure exactly whos or if it was on here. I'm sure you can find it somewhere else, but I can always be wrong.

Edit:
- Found a place but here its $199.95

Those are expensive because they are solid aluminum. For a less expensive alternative, you can get a chrome gas lid cover:

I haven't seen the chrome gas lid cover, but I doubt it would be as nice as the billet aluminum ones.

Here is one I put on CABRIO


another view

Purchased off ebay, took alot of work to fit on the car. It is actually bolted to the bold with all the bolts.

I really do not want to say what car it is for, but is for PT Cruiser.

I have the Moss one and although I think it's a little overpriced it's nicely made - very solid. It takes more than the "installs in 10 minutes" that Moss touts though.

Has anyone purchased the chrome gas lid cover?? Im afraid the cover wont be a snug fit, I dont want it to jut out too much off the body of the car.

OEM fuel filler door hinge broke - $100 to replace

The OEM fuel filler door hinge broke on my 2003 MCS. The replacement hinge from Mini is $100 and doesn't look very sturdy or well-designed, so I am thinking of installing an after market fuel filler door instead.

It seems that MiniMania and OutMotoring no longer carry this. MossMini still does, and the price has evidently dropped from $179.95 to $119.

Wow - that looks very slick! I much prefer the satin brushed aluminum finish to flashy chrome. Also, I don't think I've ever seen anything chrome that hasn't become pitted in a few years, at least in my area of the country.

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a billet aluminum fuel filler door that isn't chrome-plated?

i know that a lot of people with camaros/trans ams use eslipse one.
looks nice, and its not shiny, its actually hard plastic, but not bad at all. not even sure if it would fit....but worth looking at, and can be had for cheap
