Had to take both apart to make one but only took 10mins


Pic in the sun to show the delete better

Looks a much cleaner look without the fuel flap, another one on the list to get done to my van! This forum is costing me ££££

Way neater for certain and as I only fill Floyd up with diesel when it’s just me in the van it works.

Make your mind up, I thought you was trying to hide the fuel filler!

Everyone needs a little bling when the door opens

Any pics yet of the re-construction work on the inside of the door?

While it looks good, I’m not sure it outweighs the need to have the door open while re-fuelling for me.

Isn’t the body galvanising compromised with this modification?

Good point @DXX. No problem for me though as mine of out of warranty end of this month.

I wonder weather a present day Porsche filler cap would fit?

How long is the body warranty? It was always 12 years on cars, are commercials different?

Good call @dubber36 as I really couldn’t tell you either.

I had a blemish on mine before I did any bodywork change. Took it to VW to be told the hoops I need to jump through to have it sorted was astronomical

Warranty or not it still rusts.

The fuel flap? He’s being doing them for years with no issues so I would hope mine won’t be the odd one out

Aren't most things compromised in one way or another with most modifications.

I spent over a year fighting VW for a rust issue and balls if I'd waste my time again. Fuel flap deletes are never going to be to everyones taste and most would roll up in a ball and cry if they knew how much this mod costs, but each to their own. I love the work the Paintworx Loughborough do and some of it is pure skills, but I don't have a big issue with the fuel flap being there, and I'm not a big fan of some of the other mods people do, but I guess that's what makes us all different.

100% that’s what makes these vans fun, leave it standard - mod to the hilt it’s all down to personal choice
