The S is now home, spending time parked out in the street! I'm getting all paranoid about someone either nicking my fuel, or some drunk taking a piss in my fuel tank. Has anyone found a locking version of the OE one?

This well known type could possibly be made to fit:

Regarding the OEM one,it's the same as Scimitars SE6 onwards but I've never seen a locking version.

I bought a complete TT item to fit but it is huge on the S so have decided to go internal with one of these;

Ahh, some good ideas there. You, I'd never thought of moving it inside the boot. Mental really, as I had a Chimaera before and was used to popping the boot and filling up from inside.
I'd probably just leave the old one on the outside though, and glue it down. Or, I could use it as a firework dispenser......

Cheers!
