I wouldn't bother mate, they're terrible quality and HUGE!! I've got one that i had on my key for about 3 days and the grey paint started coming off the metal part.

Get one of these instead:

GTI KEYRING.

I'll make do with the dealer keyring.

I've got enough shoved down the front of my jeans as it is  :smug: without anything else cramping my style...


(possible slight exaggeration)

Shame, quite liked the look of that also.

Shame that this jacket is only for ladies:

Does anyone know where I can get one of the metal ones that came out in 2007 i think? Had red GTI written into it. I had one and lost it  :cry: and can't find one anywhere, not even on eBay. Can't even find a pic!  Was the best GTI key ring there's been.

A good alternative for the GTDers:-

Better looking than similar alternatives on ebay, using 2mm stainless steel, and no sharp edges.

The GTI version: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GTI-Keychain-Key-Chain-Fob-Keyring-VW-Golf-Lupo-Polo-Turbo-MK-1-2-3-4-5-6-R32-/271053651868?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&hash=item3f1c0e7f9c

I do wonder though whether we need our keyrings to shout out our car model, seeing as GTI and GTD have specialised keys with the Logo on them already.

If you just ordered one, cancel it - distance selling rules and all that.  Well, that's assuming you want to swap for the awesome black GTI keyring that Jimble linked you to!

I saw the same keyring as you and thought it looked great in the pics.  But, on closer research, the metal piece is really big, scuffs easy, and overall it's a bit on the large side.  Independently I ordered the same black GTI keyring that Jimble has, and it looks great.
