This painted fuel filler flap is an exact-fit exterior body part designed for the Peugeot 308.

Supplied in high-gloss Black Pearl Nera finish (KTV paint), the part is ideal for body repair, replacement after minor collisions, or cosmetic refurbishment. Commonly searched by OEM numbers, this item is suitable for professional garages and experienced DIYers who require a straight, painted replacement part that matches the vehicle exterior.

Fitment
Intended for Peugeot 308 models. Verify the part numbers 1517G5 or 9681632777 against the vehicle’s existing part to confirm visual and mounting match. The painted finish is matched to KTV Black Pearl Nera; other colors are available on request.
Installation
Replacement of the filler flap is generally straightforward for a trained mechanic or capable DIYer. Typical steps:
- Open the filler flap and remove any visible screws or clips securing the inner trim or splash guard.
- Access the hinge and latch assembly from inside the wheel arch or filler recess; remove retaining fasteners or gently release hinge pins.
- Transfer any hinge components, seals or locking actuator (if applicable) to the new flap, or fit the supplied hinge hardware and align the flap on the vehicle.
- Adjust alignment so the gap to the surrounding bodywork is even and the latch engages smoothly; tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque where specified.
- Check operation by opening/closing several times and inspect the paint for contact blemishes.
Estimated workshop time: 15–45 minutes depending on access and whether inner liners must be removed. Required tools: trim tools, screwdriver or Torx set, socket set, and possibly a small pry tool for hinge pins.
Installation Recommendations
- Keep all original fasteners where possible; replace any corroded clips or screws to ensure secure mounting.
- If the part includes a lock actuator or electrical connector, verify connector condition and routing before final assembly.
- Protect the painted surface during installation to avoid scratches—use soft cloths or masking where required.
- Align the flap before fully tightening fasteners to prevent stress on hinge points and ensure a flush fit with surrounding panels.
Most Common Failure Causes
Fuel filler flaps most often require replacement due to external damage (parking impacts, minor collisions, vandalism) or hinge/latch wear. Corrosion can affect mounting points on older vehicles, and painted flaps are prone to scratches and chipping from road debris. Problems with the locking actuator or seized hinge pins can prevent proper closure, creating the need for a full flap replacement rather than individual hinge repair.
Why Choose This Part
Buying a painted, ready-to-fit filler flap saves time on painting and refinishing, delivering a factory‑match look when the color code is correct. The presence of OEM product codes (1517G5 / 9681632777) makes it easy for mechanics to locate the correct replacement and ensure an accurate fit for Peugeot 308 applications.
