    Congrats on your purchase

    Fuel cap release is in the arm rest compartment.

    Bonnet release is in the glove box :D

    As said, it's next to the boot release in the center console and is a tiny lever :)

    Took me 10 minutes to find it at the petrol station, so you're not alone!

    You are soo right Phoenix - picked my Copen up last month and made sure it was on my list of things to ask before I drove away (manufacturers always like you to play a little game of "hunt-the-fuel-filler-release-button!). Never forgot hiring a VW van, going to fill up and spending ages searching all around the vehicle with absolutely no sign of the blasted thing - turns out I had to open the passenger door and it was behind that on the B-pillar (doh!).
