Default Lost Audi A4 B6 Fuel Cap :( (Also Is ok to drive without)

Filled petrol in a rush forgot to close the fuel cap door
left the fuel cap on the boot drove off in a rush and lost the fuel cap somewhere

Anyone know where i can get a replacement preferably original but if its too expensive then not original but something that does the job as efficiently as the original

Also Is it ok to drive without the cap ? just the fuel door closed of course.
Its Christmas my garage is closed

Sadly I am in the UK

mmmm check Engline Light to indicate a serious issue?
In other words will it cause any serious issues?

IDK if this would cause problems, but the cap should have notches so you can hang it on the edge of your gas door.

No, no damage will occur. Your emission status will fail and throw and check engine light eventually. But no engine damage
