Hinged at the top would, in some way, make sense as it would still leave space to connect the nozzle up

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

The bumper profile makes it inconvenient, as it stops it opening more than about 100-110 degrees. Been there, tried that.

On my 3.2 Manual Plod the LPG filler cap is mounted on the rear bumper under the number plate, a few inches down, bit awkward when filling but well out of the way.

I know its not the same as hidden behind the plate, but if colour coded its hardly visible.

Piano Hinge, magnets, epoxy and screws.
Much like my home made one. Only needs springs as well to keep it closed enough for mags to work, and the mags rust like buggery, no matter what I do to them :(

Epoxy paint?

I my case, where the 2 magnets touch, they scrape paint off.
