Rover 75 flip key re-production - much interest?
 
Evening all,

Hope everyone's well and having a good weekend.

Just wanted to see how much interest there is in this, recently 2 of the keys for our cars have broke (the rubber buttons), and I've been looking into getting a replacement flip key case. There used to be a member who used to do them a few years ago, but far as I can see they're no longer available.

Well I spent hours and hours trying to find that particular flip key case which is compatible with our keys, and have finally managed to find a supplier.

The supplier does the flip key case and blade, and also does replacement chip and electronics which go inside the key. Currently in initial inquiries stage, but it looks like the price would be around £20-£24 (guestimate - but I'm hoping for lower) for a flip key case, and a bit more if you want a new set of chips to go inside the key too. Guess that would be helpful for those who only have 1 key.

Here's what the keys look like, I'll do a logo design for Rover and one for MG too. I'm thinking of trying to have metal logo badges made in stead of stick on printed ones. all depends on cost.

If I get metal logo's done, they'll look a bit like this. If anyone has any design ideas feel free to make suggestions :)

So just wanted to find out if there would be much interest in getting these done again?

Cheers :)

Yes please, one with MG for me.

I would be interested in one MG and two Rover versions.
Do they do a Mk1 style of Rover badge at all?
Cheers,
Graeme

I'll be sending logo designs to the manufacturer of the badges, so can send a mk1 and mkii design for the logo. didn't think of the difference in the two logos :)

Can we just buy the stick on logo? flip cases are £3.49 on e-bay :shrug:
