Hi - usually hang out in the 'hairy chest' forum - so excuse the intrusion!!

I'm having some Carbon Fibre keys made up - as I got fed up with my old plastic Vauxhall key. They are only realy suitable for cars from around 1995'ish - can't remember when they changed over to all-in-one fobs, etc. I used to have a Chimaera about 10 years ago that was an M reg and it had the same type of key as this.

Any way, if you're key looks the same style and you're interested, they are going to be about £20-£25 each. Little expensive, but quite a bit has to go into making them (CNC, paint infill, high temp epoxy bonding, etc.) Drop me a PM if you're interested, probably looking at a couple of weeks until they're ready. Purely a 'not for profit' enterprise, just covering costs.

Key in images is the prototype that has not yet been bonded together.

Rich, would love to go for a blast down the M40 - but unfortunately my rear differential and the rest of the car are in two different places at the moment!!

Hope to have it up and running by the end of next week!!
