Question for UK NAMers or motorcycle folks...

I found this item on ebay, but I can't really tell from the description what it is for. I think it is something for a motorcycle gas tank .
Anyway, I was wondering if it might be something I could use in the gas cap area of El Kabong to protect the paint. I'm having issues with staining from gas in that area. Even though I am very careful to wipe the area down when I put gas in, I still get some staining.
Oh, and I love the "Free Bits and Bobs" part, so very British!

Here's the link to the item.

It sticks to the rear of the tank and protects the paint from zipper scratches. I think it would look a bit wierd on your car.

Looks like it says "Free Bits & Blobs!"

You're right, it does! The item description says Bits and Bobs, so I didn't catch the difference!

I wouldn't use the entire thing the way it is, I'd probably cut it down or something. Just a thought.....

Are you considering cutting the checkerboard in the shape of an arrow pointing at the gas cap? That would be kind of fun!
