My cover on my fuel tank has been damaged by some IDIOTS who wanted to get fuel out of my tank while i was at work!
so here we go... Im not sure if this is in the right place
The cover is wrecked... so i was thinking.. what can i do to fix it!!
Glue doesnt work.... i glued it together... but then it sits wrong and doesnt open with the fuel release button unless you jam a screw driver into the cover damaging the paint in the process...
any ideas on what i should do!
Do mitis sell them?
Are there any better covers available

i think this calls for the work of wreckers....
i wouldnt use mitsu genuine parts for a fuel cover.. they'd take your wallet and run :lol: :lol: plus, then you'd have to get it painted anyway :doubt:
so go to a wreckers, try find a filler with the same colour.. or if not, take it to a pannel beaters, get them to colour match it, and while your there, they can colour match your cars bumpers and all 8)
:idea: food for thought

if you have a locking cap on your fuel filler, then why not leave it off, so they can see it??? but then you have a chance that they might try play with the lock and stuff it so YOU cant even get into it :oops: :?
i donno..

what's the point? by the time they get to the fuel cap, you couldn't care less whether or not they took the fuel :cry: but it would stop would-be pranksters from peeing into your tank :D

went to a local mitsi wrecker around 1 minute away!!!
had a silver tf that looked like it had been driven at high speed then launched into a brick wall!! it was a wreck!!
mostly everything taken inside but outside there was a nice filler lid for $10 which is pretty cheap in my opinion...
im gonna get the spray cans out :P and spray it white... hope that works out :P

You can get color match spray cans these days, not perfect but better than silver

Yeah Dupli-Colour ones are pretty good, that's what I used to do my front bar on my car...tho stupid me didnt prime it properly (there is a valid reason tho I swear! lol) and it's now peeling off!
But yeah the colour was really good and it's metallic. So white shouldn't be a problem at all.
