   hi,recently bought a vts but don't like the fuel cap that comes with it silver thing with fake screws,is there a way to change this to a colour coded one? would I need the key to fit the specific cap or can I remove the innards from my fuel cap and put inside another one?
   
   rear badges,cant think what to do with them if I t-cut them you wont see them but I really don't like them standard,would they be hard to vinyl?
   
   cheers

   fuel cap-just get another one in the right colour and swap the locks over
   
   badges- just take them off and spray them what ever colour you want

   if you not sure how to do you fuel cap its a bit of a bugger...try looking for someone selling their fuel cap with a key and just use that..
   and with your badges go for a different colour.. i.e. cabury purple or lime green to stand out

   I've ordered a fuel cap in same colour as car from a guy off here and as for badges I want to try and keep the green theme I've got going so will look about for paint that's a similar colour,if I can't find paint I'll just t-cut them as I really don't like the silver
