Fuel cap cover
Previous Owner stuck a carbon fibre fuel cap cover onto my car 
He used no more nails apparently so I think I will be needing a new cover, where am I gonna find one of them

From what I remember No more nails isn't particularly good at expanding quickly when dry.
Boil a kettle of water, have the fuel cap open before you do and have some plastic sheet below the fuel cap on the rear wing, when it's boiled get it to the fuel cap as quick as possible (better if you can run an extension, don't want any accidents? Do we?) Pour the boiling water over the cap quickly, watch your toes, if it doesn't expand the cap will and will crack the No more nails.
Worth a try, as you'll have to loose it if you get another.

Removing the cap and doing it in the kitchen sink sounds a bit safer though
He did also tell me he used no more nails
