my fuel door, noooo!

so i liv ein new jersey, and for those of you who aren;t aware in the state of new jersey it is illegal to pump your own gas. from time to time the guy who pumps my gas has knocked off my fuel door and had to put it back on, i ahd always assumed he wasnt a total idiot and was able to affix it properly, but since the last time i refueled i have noticed that it fell off at some point in my travels.

now i have seen a bunch of fancy fuel doors with rivets and grooves and all that, but does anybody know of a place where i can get another fuel door that is just plain old regular black and preferably cheap?

If visiting the dealer is inconvenient, I'd recommend scp-parts.com or smartmadness. One way or another, you can get a factory door.

Anybody with a fancy new door have a spare "plain" old door?

Superfightingrobot- if you write me a 5,000 word essay as to why you would be a good recipient if a nice OEM fuel door for your smart I'll send you one.

If you PM me - I'll hook you up. It is what SCOA is about. I've had plenty of people give me stuff here, I'll pass it on as long as you pass it on when you get the chance. It's the smart thing to do.

That may be, but I always do it anyway. As you've learned, most of the station attendants aren't very careful.

Stock gas door seems to look ok for a $10.99 upgrade...
Details on request...

I can't believe you can't pump your own gas. I'd move.
