Title: Key Covers
Post by: kevinw90 on June 25, 2011, 10:37:08 am: Hello,

Noticed this from cupra.net

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=318687

Look not to bad I thought. Looks like they are offical seat parts aswell. Have had a look for vw ones and cant find any. Would have been quite good when I had my old cupra but not wanting an FR badge or Cupra badge on the GTI keys. Makes no scense.

Anyone any ideas if these are avalible in VW? Have had a look but no sucess

Thanks

Post by: big al on July 26, 2011, 10:52:06 am: Very nice little mod Mike.
Though I bet it costs a bit, does it get scratched easily?

I have seen some leather pouches that are tailored to fit around the key fob, but the fob alone is quite bulky, so to add on a leather cover may make it just a little too big.

It could be, sorry not sure. Ordered my car Aug 07 and collected Jan 08 so could well be the 'old' version

Post by: Kalpsn2000 on July 26, 2011, 11:53:34 am: From the pictures it does look like the ‘old’ version as the logo is slightly covered so must be the larger one. So therefore is should fit the MK5 fob.

Just need to find a VW/GTI/plain version if available :happy2:
