Purpose and fitment

The presented fuel filler flap cover has been designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series F20 body, maintaining the factory shapes and body lines. As a result, the component retains proper fitment with the fender and the flap mechanism, which translates into the correct operation of the hinge and the fuel filler lock.

The original origin from the BMW brand means compliance with factory standards of quality, geometry, and material thickness, which minimizes the risk of installation problems and leaks in the fuel filler area.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 paint finish

The cover is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic - 475, which is the characteristic metallic black used in many BMW F20 units. This shade ensures:

• color consistency with the factory body paint,
• aesthetic fit to the vehicle's side line,
• a modern, elegant look characteristic of premium BMW models.

Thanks to the factory metallic finish, the cover surface blends well with other body elements without the need for additional painting once properly matched to the car.

Component characteristics and installation

The fuel filler flap cover belongs to the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group, responsible for protecting the filler from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. This element has both functional and visual significance – a damaged or deformed flap disrupts the body line and can hinder access to the filler.

The offered cover, as an OEM part, is prepared for installation in place of the factory element, using the existing hinge and lock mechanism. With proper selection in terms of model and color, a quick replacement is possible without the need for body modifications.

Condition and origin

The element comes from original BMW production and is marked as Used, which means it was previously used in a vehicle. This type of part is a good solution for accident repairs or minor body corrections when you want to maintain the factory paint and reduce costs compared to a new component.

To facilitate identification in the store system, the product has an assigned SKU, and the technical specification also includes the OEM part number and related interchangeable numbers, which allows for precise matching to a specific vehicle configuration.
