Intended Use and Function in BMW 1 Series F20

The offered fuel filler flap is dedicated to the BMW 1 Series F20 body and is mounted on the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for protecting the fuel filler neck from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage, while maintaining the original body line. Thanks to its design, which is consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, proper gaps, geometry, and the operation of the hinge and opening mechanism are preserved.

Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 Color – Paint Matching

The part is factory painted in the Tiefseeblau Metallic A76 shade, characteristic of selected BMW 1 Series F20 configurations. This allows for reducing or completely eliminating the need for repainting, provided that the other body panels retain the same shade and level of coating wear. In practice, this means faster repairs, lower costs, and maintaining a consistent, aesthetic appearance of the rear of the car.

Characteristics of the Original Fuel Filler Flap

The flap belongs to the Fuel Filler Flaps and Accessories group, meaning it has been specifically designed for use in the refueling area and is compatible with the original BMW fuel filler neck. Original mounting points and edge shape facilitate installation in place of a damaged part, without the need for bodywork modifications. The used nature of the part allows for a favorable cost-to-quality ratio, while maintaining proper fitment to the body.

Condition, Application, and Benefits of Installation

A used fuel filler flap is a good choice for operational and post-accident repairs when maintaining original geometry and body compatibility is a priority. Installing such a part allows you to:

• restore proper closure and protection of the fuel filler neck,
• replace a missing or damaged flap without interfering with the body structure,
• maintain color consistency in the rear of the vehicle,
• preserve the original finish of the BMW 1 Series F20.
