The filler had no dust cap . I fiched teh one from my PX.
Using a sharp drill bit I cut a hole in the plastic part behing the filler flap just twiddling the drill with my fingers.
The dust cap just pushed on.
Total time to do 5 minutes. Iwouldnt use a drill for fear of damaging teh filler flap if it overshot.

My 2018 4x4 Panda had no dust cover from new. I enquired about one from the Dealer who said "not fitted to this year's models". I would however like one. Does anyone know ifthey can be bought separately from Fiat or elsewhere?
