Keyfob cover for

[sockettrousers]

Just bought a new Cooper S. Very happy except for the ridiculous keyfob.

Has anyone tried one of these on a V3 mini keyfob: https://www.shapeways.com/product/L9ZBKFMW8/key-fo... or, as that is designed for the R56 keyfob, does anyone know if the keyfob fittings changed between F and R series?

Even better does anyone know if there is a UK version of this kind of thing - shipping from Shapeways is a little steep :-(

What on earth is that monstrosity for?

Sorry to sound a bit short but you talk of a ridiculous key fob & say you want that instead, really?

They come in black and make the fob kindof keyfob sized rather than dinner plate sized

Edit. Ah, wrong link. Yes that orange one is a bit fugly. Try this: https://www.shapeways.com/product/L9ZBKFMW8/key-fo...

Completely understand about the key fob - it's outsized for no real reason.
I purchased a couple of these from Shapeways (one black and one red), and they do make the key a more manageable size.

Super easy to fit and slightly textured finish.

Would recommend.

Cracking, ordered 2 to replace the OEM oversized monstrosity.

Nice. A great application of 3d printing, and for low cost.
It's really interesting to see how these sorts of things have become so accessible thanks to print and ship on demand.

Best one to order is the rev3 - much more solid and no gaps or flex
