Wanted: Cool MINI (or Mini) Key Fob

The official MINI key ring that my dealer gave me is absolutely pants !!!!

Anyone know of any aftermarket shops in the UK doing decent ones either for the MINI or the old cooper?

If so can you tell me where to get one, and if you have one already post a pic?

Is the MINI key fob that your dealer gave you chrome with a piece of black rubber stuck in the middle? The one that has a ring that is really too fat to fit through the MINI keys?
If so there is an official MINI accessory key fob that sells for a fiver. It is a steel wire type with the MINI emblem attached in chrome finish. There is a picture on this Forum under "Rubber Mats".

You could always try one of Mr. John Cooper's keyfobs - I think they do one metal and one leather one.
You can even get them mail-order - I think!

Alternatively, I just came across a lithium powered keyfob light that has a funky blue light which is supposed to last a looong time.

Well I think the one the dealer gives you is quite funky (with a slight change! I just removed the nasty piece of orange rubber and left the chrome bit.
