Look before you leap! I've been led to believe that there are 2 different styles of cap - changed around the 96-98 facelift IIRC. Can anyone confirm?

Just wondering....
Why would you want to change it when the only time you see it is when you fill up with fuel?Probably 30secs max.Nobody else sees it and the black one "does the job".

yeah but ,no but, yeah but ,no but you can't and nobody else can't see it for 99.99% of the time.I mean it not like a wheel or your bodywork is it? I'm guessing the price of a replacement is about 100miles worth of fuel.I know what i'll be buying.You rich tivvers obviously have too much money to burn

Aint worried what other people think of it, but I have to look at it and use it and i think it looks and feels crap.
I guess you could say the same about watches,mobile phones.... the inside of your house?? all things other people may not see that much but you do... and if you are like me you may want that to look nice

I'd like one with a valve in it so that the vacuum in the fuel tank doesn't build up. Is there such a thing? I know a few people leave the cap slightly loose but that sounds a bit risky to me.
