Gotta ask, why? The fender lines aren't designed for it. If you want the look, get a 924.

I disagree, I think the location of the filler, is the perfect place for a race type cap, you know the metal machine piece with 6-8 bolts

Not sure what you are after as the pic didn't come up, but here's my replacement fuel filler.
I like it but rice or not it's in there to stay now

huh, i didn't think i'd like it but that filler looks great. what i really love about your car is the rear bumper though. that looks really great. is that just the euro bumper without the rubber? what exhaust is that?

And that's why we have opinions. Do whatever you wish, but I don't see the point as you won't be pulling into the pits with a crew waiting to gas up your '44. Seems un-necessary.

Looks like a motorcycle tank cap, is that right?

Rear bumper is the original cut 'n shut to fit by the local Porsche Centre here. Boys did a great job of it and probably the best bit of the bodywork for me.
The fuel filler is a Mocal from Demon Tweeks UK, bit of a pain to fit and maybe a bit on the small size.
