^ Just spent a while looking for this on their page...
So this Croytec with tether £110 Click image to enlarge Croytec with tether style 2 £110 Click image to enlarge Optimil no tether £65
Now I'm looking at the three, I do like option 1 from croytec... Click image to enlarge What do people think, would Alloy suit an all black car.... I just thought it would look more obvious.. I always liked my mums cooper in black with a chrome filler...  |

Be careful they don't damage the paint though.

Thanks for posting the Croytec filler caps.
I didn´t know they made them. They are very slow to update their website.
Those, and the excellent value Optimill one really puts the original LR pricing into perspective, not to mention the twice as expensive Overfinch one! An alloy cap will look great on a Santorini Defender. But, you´ll probably end up buying the door handles, too! 1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MT´s, Recaro CS´s, anorak, wellingtons |

I viewed the Croytec cap and the Optimill one and really felt the Optimill was a superior product at practically half the price.

I know we all have our choices, but £65 - £900 for a diesel cap
I can get a set of Bowlers for that |

I like the optimil the best even though the cheapest as I like the look more than the other that combined with the great price a optimil quality it's a winner for me.
Also agree with Steve would not want it hanging down the side of the car to damage paint so not bothered by a tether. Also silver would look great on santorini |

^ Thanks
£800 for 4 bowler wheels sounds cheap, £800 for a petrol cap it plain crazy... I'm going to ring optimil today after a FaceBook message and see if they will do me a deal |

OK so after reading the reviews and considering the quality of the Optimill bits I already have, I went this route...
Seems the best value / looking / quality so now will have to wait for Mr / Mrs Post Person |

Good choice! Great looking.
Personally I think the tether on the original style cap is a good idea, but do. like the design of the Optimill one you have chosen, best of all. For an inventive mind, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to come up with an attractive solution. 1998 Tdi 90 SW,
