the 2 and 3 doors are the same,
the 4 and 5 doors are the same

you cant fit a 2 door cap into a 4 door ect:

star style is off mk2 hatch it may be same as mk2 loon i am not sure

small one fits on mk2 hatch but looks odd as the cap is a lot smaller an doesnt fill all of the fuel cap recessalthough it does seal the hole

yeah figured it out now my star cap will fit 3dr hatch and 2dr loon and the small cap with flap will fit 5dr hatch and 4dr loon and as you say the small one doesnt fill the recess and i want one that will cos to me the small one looks very odd
