means the metal ones I think,

it sacks the flap off so you end up with a fuel cap the same as a Saxo or a 1*6

Thats right metal which bolts to body, not for looks but due to relocating filler pipework so i can use Golf MK2 gti caliper and discs on rear.

I make the ones like Lee posted above, so be no use to you wanting to relocate the filler neck from the wheel well!

You can buy the metal ones from tweeks, put it anywhere.... inside the boot, just relocate the pipe work to come to the rear of the car, open your boot and filler cap is there!

or you could, alter the existing pipe work and still use the original location....

Just put a larger bend in the pipe work to fetch it more in the car than the wheel well itself!

Looks like a bit of modifying the hole size is in order then.
