I may want to install a billet style gas cover on my Mini.
Can you give advice on how to remove the existing folding gas flap?

It's really easy. You just need to open the door and you will see how it twists off. A flat headed screw driver will help you unsnap the piece that locks it in place. Should take you less than a minute to do.

Thanks, I was looking at the Mini S Cabrio and didn't notice the screws.

Looked at cabrio gas flap cover and didn't see screws to remove.

I think you just turn it in one direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise), I can't remember. I did it once before on my old MINI.

No, there aren't any screws to remove. It twists off. But a slotted screw driver will help you get it started. There are notches on the piece of plastic that the fuel door fits onto, once you have these notches unhooked you can twist it right off. If the cabrio is different, I'm not aware of it.
