   Had me confused for ages. With the cap removed you have to push the loch mechanism out of the back. Then lock it back on to the car, then remove the kep and the cap (fascia) will come off.
   
   You then just push a new cap over the lock until it clicks into position.

   I had to do this to fit the dimma fuel cap, it was just a matter of pricing the workings of the standard cap apart until you can pull the key out- no easy way to go about it as far as I know!!
   Good luck buddy

   its so easy. look at the back of the cap theres a little plastic clip which is pushed in by a lip on the filler neck. press that with a screw driver and then turn the key and pull it out. its not fiddly or awkward and it can be done without damaging anything.
