Ebay have had them on there before for approx £30-35.

I nearly got some, but already got the ''Shark'' ones for £25!

Whilst i like the shark fin grilles, i prefer these classic ones, but can only find them for £86! And that's without the clear lenses and bulbs - jokers!!!

I guess i'll have to keep looking. Thanks for your help though guys...

Hi Maxi Cool... Thanks... I fit the fuel cap myself, another good buy from Ebay and lots of help from the forums, it's a straight swap for the original.
BTW.. like the dragon

Hmmm... i've just come off the phone to the dealer's where i bought Max from, and i think i must have been the first person to enquire about the fuel cap conversion, because they implied that it was a MAJOR job and not something they would be willing to do.

Looks like i'll have to stick with the original fuel cap. I'm a bit of a blonde girlie when it comes to practical things and i think my Dad would hit the roof if i attempted it myself! And i'd probably give myself a heart attack from the stress!!!

Lol...thought the dealers would say that...Try one of the company's advertised on here, or Ebay, I paid about £50 for mine already painted.
BTW I'm a girlie too but I aren't blonde
