That is factory fitted, as is the fuel pump, thats done when there is no petrol in the system.

This is aftermarket, and i wouldnt want to be doing anything like that.

personal preference though.

pretty lazy too

you'll be wanting a boot that shuts itself next!

I have no time to go to scrappies anymore, i take it more or less any car would fit, unless corsa is known for random nozzle size or shape or summit?:s

Well the flap itself might not fit from another car, but you'd be able to take the actual popping mechanism and make it fit the Corsa flap.

sure someone (once) was selling a smoothed cover, that had one of those poppy mechanisms, In that u press it to open, then pressit shut. kinda hard to explain, kinda like the latch on a loft access hatch :s

When it goes wrong (which it will, no offense) you will either be picking it open, tearing your hair out to find the problem, or not driving the car
