A few suggestions would be welcome please.I want to remove the filler cap and its surround,to,either re-paint,or renew with the chrome(imitation)one,which Performance-Coupe sell.Is it as simple as removing the 7 bolts which secure it,pulling it off,and replacing it,or are there any pitfalls awaiting the unwary?Also,what is the bolt type and its size(so I can get the proper screwdriver to remove it)?
If I decide to repaint,I have a can of Halfords aerosol spray,but can I find the laquer topcoat cheaply and easily?Thanks guys,as always.....Dave.

its allen keys and yes its that simple.there are only about 4 real ones rest are imitation.be careful how you do and prep it properly they start to crack the paint very easily
