Monza or Lemans cap pics

Anyone care to post some pics of their C3 with a monza or lemans style fuel door? I'm trying to decide between the two.

The monza and le mans gas cap are the same thing.
Actually the "flip up gas cap" originally came in two styles, the Monza and Aston style gas caps, the monza name getting the popular vote for its extensive use on the AC Cobra's.

Makes sense why the sketches looked so similar then.

Yours is the one I like ... but you have no time to make me one, heh. I have 3 kids in diapers (oldest is 3, youngest is 8 months) so I know what you mean about not having much time.

Ron, I have 5 that are 85% done, they just need to be final shaped and polished, I hope to finish them in the next 2 weeks as I have some vacation time scheduled.

Is this a new line now?

A similar thread a few months ago ended up creating a line like this.
