   What one have you got at the moment?
   
   Standard looks tidy!
   Aftermarket ones just stand out!

   so the verdict is so stick with standard? just quite liked the aluminum finished petrol caps, for a tenner cant really complain anyway if i don't like the look its no worse than getting a kfc on Saturday night.
   
   thanks all.

   Stick with the standard coloured one,less hassel......
   
   The alloy ones,jam the keys up.And you have to use plenty of WD40,been there loads of times.......
