Rip-off fuel door (more)
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/cap2.jpg"></center><p>I was back at the Mitsu. dealer getting my Sebring fixed, and had the digi-cam with me.
I shot this on the showroom, with a few sales-types looking on.
The unit is slightly larger than the TT, and not as good workmanship.
I then saw an add-on unit in the parts dept., and took a close look at it. The Allen heads are functional screws, but the base of the unit is plastic where it mates to the car body.<p><A HREF="mailto:jbipes@mtn.org"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/bipecott.gif" BORDER=0 alt="Jeff Bipes"></a>

Re: Rip-off fuel door (more)
Just like to note that my 1988 Honda Hawk 650GT (motorcycle) has a gas door that is EXTREMELY similar to the gas door on my Audi TT.
C'mon guys, don't get so defensive. It's been done before. ;-)<p>--

So it's been done before, but the difference is that it...
...looks like it belongs on the TT and is very stylish. On the Eclipse it looks out of place and cheesy because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the car (which is horribly ugly, BTW).
Seen the sticker ones yet that you just apply to your gas lid? Oh man is that bad! :-(<p>Charles
