LOL - I bought them to put on a key for the Mrs as she wrecked the painted covers just lobbing it in her handbag without the leather cover. But she said they looked shyate!

Stuart21UK Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I just ordered 2 (red & silver) for my key via an ebay seller, I offered £7.00 plus vat for each and they accepted so I now have two set of shells coming from China for a grand total of £16.80!

Patt Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 The newer keys have a different key ring loop. It's more internal than sticky out. I've had cheap silver on my key for about 5 years with no issues. The only issue is getting the top cover to fit correctly, the side "blades" always snap straight in. Now changed to "pink pig" as I also needed to replace the rubber buttons cover too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 I think painting is crazy for such a product for exactly this reason. Should be solid coloured plastic. Leave it to aftermarket to offer pork chops and Gulf colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart21UK Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 so my Chinese ebay blades arrived today, ordered 9/8/2022, arrived 8 days later from China two sets for a total of £16.80! how do they do it?? old non-OEM blade showing blue underneath, where its worn two new sets Silver Red (that I've gone with for a change, that kinda matches the interior 🤣 ) I've not replaced the centre portion, leaving the OEM metal (?) bit perfect fit and cheap enough to change when worn!

They look great, I'm going to get a couple, although I'm seeing the best price at £11.77 a set so I'll 'watch' them for a bit and see if I get a better discount as well.
