Fuel filler cap cover for PEUGEOT 407
Color KTVD – PAINT BLACK PEARL NERA
This fuel filler cap cover is a direct-fit replacement designed for the Peugeot 407. Manufactured to match the original exterior finish (KTVD – Black Pearl Nera), it restores the vehicle’s appearance around the fuel inlet and protects the filler area from dirt, moisture and minor impacts. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics searching by reference numbers such as 1517A7, 151877 or KTVD.
Made to be a straightforward swap for damaged or missing filler flaps, this cover helps maintain corrosion protection around the fuel neck and keeps the bodywork looking factory-correct. It is an excellent choice when the original flap is cracked, scratched or the paint has been compromised.

Installation Instructions
Replacement is usually quick and can be completed in a few simple steps by a trained mechanic or competent DIYer:
- Open the fuel flap and remove any visible screws or retaining clips securing the hinge or inner trim.
- If applicable, detach the inner trim panel inside the fuel filler recess to access fasteners.
- Carefully release the hinge from the body — some models use clips that can be pried free with a trim tool; avoid damaging surrounding paint.
- Fit the new cover and engage the hinge, then secure all screws/clips and check alignment so the flap closes flush with the surrounding panel.
- Test the operation several times and touch up any minor alignment issues. Reinstall inner trim if removed.
Mounting Recommendations
Use appropriate plastic trim tools to avoid scratching the paint. Replace any broken clips or corroded screws when fitting the new cover. Apply a small amount of corrosion inhibitor to metal fasteners if they show surface rust. When aligning, ensure the flap sits evenly in the aperture to prevent rubbing or early wear of the hinge.
Common Failure Reasons
Fuel filler covers on Peugeot 407 commonly fail due to impact damage (minor collisions, shopping trolleys or petrol station incidents), brittle or broken hinge clips from age and UV exposure, and paint damage from fuel spills or abrasion. Corrosion of mounting points or screws can also cause fitment problems and rattles.
For workshops and DIYers looking to replace the fuel flap, this part offers a factory-style visual match and straightforward installation using the listed product codes (1517A7 / 151877 / KTVD) for quick identification in catalogs and search engines.
