   should be just a straight replace, (correct me if im wrong) Comes with new keys for it, so that will open the fuel cap instead of your car key.

   by direct replacement do you mean it just uses the original mounts it is basically just the fuel cap bit that you remove with the key?

   You just buy the whole new cap, which comes with its own keys

   Does this one fit Saxo too? Would be neat not needing a separate key for the fuel cap.

    Mucho prefer the standard filler caps, used to have a metal one, took it off and replaced it with standard.
