I've seen quite a few on the Smarts in SoCal. I'm torn, though; on the non-black paneled cars (with the black tridion) I think the door makes a good contrast in black. But I don't really care for the black gas door on a black car or on a car that has the silver tridion. Personal preference.

Your pal,
Meat.

Yet, even with a silver tridion, the black gas cap matches the black air intake and the black hatch.
As you wrote, a matter of personal preference...

Guys,I ordered a yellow gas cap from the UK, will post when it gets here. They do come in all the colours!
also ordered Brabus Front and rear name tags, as well as triangle window name plates to replace the "Passion" ones.

We stock the Carbon Fiber Door Cover and the BRABUS Door Cover plate (we put the BRABUS one on ours and it looks sharp!). In the next 30-60 we will have painted ones as well.

In case you are interested in the Carbon Fiber or the BRABUS covers here is the link:

Accessories:Gas doors / Covers

Thanks! :-)

I don't know if Pinball purchased a complete door replacement, but the only things I've seen in the UK seem to be "cap covers" like the following from WellSmart online , and they even include black (am I'm missing something?).:
