Easiest painted pannel to take off?

Post by james13009 »

I want to get my wheel centers on my split rims the same colour of the car and to get a decent match. So what is the easiest pannel to take of the car to match it with (+ what needs to be done to remove)?

My first thought is petrol cap?

Engine inspection panel (the two panels either side of your engine lid) :thumleft:

Edit: you'll need a spanner 8)

Engine inspection panel 100%...

2 x 10mm bolts in the engine bay, easy money.
