It only comes in black, but its around $30 to buy a replacement part from your local smart center which then you can paint to match your smart's color or you can buy a sticker that will cover a majority of the flap.

I've done both, currently on the project car I have the color match sticker on the flap but have a spare flap that will be painted perfectly to match the car.

General warning the color match sticker doesn't match 100% so up close you can see the difference in the grey, but form a distance and a quick look its perfect.

Is there a reason to buy a color-matched gas cap rather than just getting one painted by a local auto body shop?

You can get a Brabus double B sticker to cover it, makes it look a lot more like it should be there than a matt black flap!

Hi flasmartdad,

Hope you don't mind that I'm jumping in a bit late, but wanted to let you know that at Smart Madness.com we carry 2 options for a gas cap. 1.) My personal fave, a Carbon Fiber gas cap door 2.) and like others, the Gas Cap Cover by BRABUS.

I personally like the look of Carbon Fiber and these specific gas cap doors are really sweet. The fiber is laid really smooth (does that make sense?) and the clear coat is nice and even. I've personally checked these pieces out, and I don't think any buyer would be dissapointed.

If you're interested in checking the options out, this url takes you to the main page, then simply click on gas cover doors :)

Overall, it seems as if you now have a pretty decent variety of options compared to when you first posted waaaaaaaaay back in Feb. I know, I know, we're a bit late, but hey. Better late than never, right?! :)

To you, yours and your smart,
Smart Gurl (aka Smart Madness.com)
