Fiesta 2006 Hatchback 1.4 petrol

As per title. I lost my gas cap and I've been having a hard time finding a replacement. Parts stores don't have them, repair shops don't have any that fit apparently and Ford is quoting me a whopping 80€ for it. Is there a cheaper alternative? I really don't want to pay 80€ for a new one. All I keep thinking is how lucky the person that took mine is. Any suggestions? The only thing I've got left is to scour a few more junk yards or cave in and pay the Ford tax.

eBay?

This one is used, but a genuine ford part and it’s a fraction of fords rip off price.

Thanks! For some reason when I searched ebay, I couldn't find anything for Fiesta mk6 until I copied your search to "petrol cap" instead of "gas cap". Shipping costs more than the cap itself but so far this is the cheapest alternative to the 80€ from Ford. I'm going to keep looking around a bit more but I'll probably settle on this one if I can't find anything local.

There should be loads in scrap yards with the Mk6 Fiesta being such a common car!   Unless there aren't so many of them where you are, Euros and gas suggests not UK?

Slovenia but since it's such a small country, I usually check for things abroad as well. Shipping from UK is usually a bit expensive but it's worth checking in this case. Germany is a bit closer so I'll try there too. I checked online for any car scrap yards near by and I found a few but some of them are quite far. I bought a cheap 2€ universal gas cap yesterday on the way home so I have one now temporarily. Fiestas are quite common here yeah so I hope I'll find one from a scrap yard. I'll eventually get one for sure, I just gotta keep looking. The temporary one is doing it's job quite well. It fits in snug and I'm not smelling any gas vapor while I drive.
