Carbon Coops Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I am going to have a mould developed to replace the boring black key for a carbon fibre one. I will provide full details on how to change this over but all it will involve is opening the key up swapping the internals into your new carbon key/fob clip back together slide your key blade in and tighten the screw. I will be having these made in the finner 1*1 twill weave pictured here on a bmw e46 door handle I can get these in either normal carbon or coloured. i am getting mine in Blue and Black other colours are orange yellow red green blue and the above mixed with black (norm carbon) Please note however you cannot colour carbon, to enable me to get colour i have to mix coloured fibre glass, it is however laid exactly the same as the fibre. see below, Orange Blue Numbers will effect the price on these! But i expect to be able to get these (pair) to your door for between £20 and £40 max!!! Any questions pls pm List of intrest!!!! 1. Coops - Blue and Black 2. Kite350 3. Sparky 4. srobrien 5. Gibby 6. Scottsoulby 7. Ian 8. Woody 9. martinopy 10. Chris I 11. Andy 12. waylander 13. Boycey 14. Bounty

Carbon Coops Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 I think it will look great, the engine covers will be a good indication of this as i have ordered myself a blue and black one, i am doing as much as i can Blue and Black carbon on my car.

sparky370z Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 i would like to see what a coloured one would look like before making a proper decision Coops!! i'll wait for your one to get done first mate Sparky
srobrien Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I would definatly be up for a standard 1x1 twill one! they would look awsome!! Kudos for the original idea I can guess that muddy would be well up for this as well R

Ian Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Depending on what they look like once finished and on price. Im in +1 anything to lose the micra key Just hope that you dont lose the carbon key or you will be back to the Micra key
Andy Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Interested in a black one dependant on final design and cost
rtbiscuit Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 am i right in thinking these will be identical to the current key fob, but made of carbon fibre instead of the standard injection moulded plastic. i might be interested. but their is real potential to develop a flip key that would take out transponder. and that i would definetely be interested in.
Carbon Coops Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 yes just a direct swap, i am looking into the flip key idea aswell ! coops
Boycey Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Can I get a normal black one please, the standard key is soo ugly for a car so sexy
bounty78 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 do you have a picture of what the final product looks like?
Carbon Coops Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Not yet, i am sending my key/fob away next week to begin development
waylander Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Depending on what they look like once finished and on price. Im in Coops, I would like to see a pic of the product first and a price before I commit.
Carbon Coops Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 No problem the list is purely for me and does not commit anyone to anything just an indication to me Coops
rtbiscuit Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 i'll hold out to see what you do with a flip key
Zednick666 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Definitely interested, will await further info
