Correct way to mount Sparco gas cap?
 
I bought the Sparco gas cap and I have no idea on the best way to mount it. My car is getting painted right now so I decided to install the cap now due to the body work involved to get a flush fit. Has anybody installed this cap on their car or know someone who has?

cant you just hand it to the guys at the body shop and have them do it for you?

It's sad but, I don't fully trust them. I want it done correctly. Not just welded in with a bunch of bondo slapped around it and sanded. I'm very picky, especially when it comes to my car. It's very hard to find reputable shops that have made a name for themselves here in San Antonio, TX. At least without spending $10,000.:(

Because the sparco cap is smaller than the covering you are supposed to weld some metal around the soroundings to make the fit.

I think thats the Audi TT fuel door. I heard it fits very well but way more expensive.

every shop i go to says "we'll sell it to you but you gotta go to a body shop to get it put on"

damn it has anyone actually done this conversion from square to round door? Or atleast has a pic of the door from the back side so I know what I'm working with when I get one?
