Title: Got a decent GTi keyring at last....
Post by: Panthera on 12 April 2012, 20:14
I have been after a decent GTi keyring ever since I got my Golf GTi and could never find one. But I looked on the VW accessories pages and saw a this keyring and then looked on that famous auction site and saw the same and purchased then and there.

Here it is. The quality is very good, well built - German - although it is actually made in, well have a guess.

I've got one of those, i was quite surprised how big it is tbh, bit big imo and the grey paint comes off within a couple of weeks. Not the best so i think i'll just get somethin else.

Could you link us to this 'famous auction site' please? Thinking I might have to invest in one of these myself!

Sorry mate, just read that again and realise it came over quite negative, it was just my opinion, it may well be perfect for ya, the material on it is an exact match for the jacara cloth in mine. Enjoy  :smiley:

This is the item in question on the VW merchandise web page....
http://www.volkswagenmerchandise.co.uk/?cid=2,1,102,0&pid=1894

Had a look on my eBay page and the seller is currently out of stock.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400286219056?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

but it is the same price I paid. Not sure what VW postage costs are?

No worries.  I was a little surprised at how big it was too.  Plus the 'Ring' is a little too think to fit in the loop on the key. Had to find one of those 1/4 size keyrings go between the key and keyring.  But non the less, still a fab keyring. Glad I purchased.

That key ring has caused many Sleepless nights in the mk6 section

My tartan key ring just arrived and it's huge. Pretty unusable it's so big

I've put house keys etc on for the moment but doubt I will use it as it weighs a ton and it's no good for the car key.
