Purpose and function of the component

The fuel filler flap on the Range Rover Evoque L551 is responsible for shielding the fuel filler neck from contaminants, moisture, and mechanical damage. A correctly selected component from this group ensures:

• proper closing and sealing of the fuel filler area,
• protection against dust, mud, and road salt,
• preservation of the aesthetics of the side body section.

The original design of the flap is matched to the factory opening and closing mechanism, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of issues with the hinge or latch operation.

EIGER GREY - 1DF color and visual fit

The applied EIGER GREY - 1DF color is the factory shade used on the Range Rover Evoque L551, allowing the component to blend harmoniously with the body lines. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where the following factors count:

• paint consistency with other body panels,
• reduction of the need for additional painting,
• maintenance of the vehicle's visual value.

Selecting a flap in the exact same paint code helps avoid shade differences visible in daylight and artificial light.
