Wrapping key fob

EL Jeffe 5 · 10-29-2015, 02:30 PM

I had some left over vinyl wrap when I was doing my roof so I decide to wrap my key fob. I like it better then some key fob holders I personally find them to be on bigger side.

It's a pity they can't make something more akin to a credit card.

I notice the 3rd button on your remote sounds the horn, mine has a diamond on it and switches the headlights on for a while, I'm guessing that a US v UK difference.

Yeah I think its same function just different look when I press horn button lights come on and if I hold alarm comes on.

I've never tried holding it down, I'll have to have a play with it tomorrow

I think for MY 2012+ the diamond got replaced by the horn.

I'm all in when it comes to people trying to do new things.

Wait, I really want to do this! The key that comes with my car is beige because it's a Modern Line car. It looks like this.

It's not pretty, but is it hard to do? And what tools do I need?

Vinyl and a razor blade...probably a blow dryer too

You should! I think it looks way better

And on the plus side, it keeps most of the actual key safe from scratches

Here's how it looks, it has gotten slighlty shinier as I've had it on for a while

lsturbointeg · 12-28-2015, 11:03 PM

Holy $hit balls that looks GREAT!
