Title: Key Covers/Skins
Post by: JamesR27 on 31 July 2025, 14:46

Hi All,

Picked up my Clubsport yesterday and will share pics when it has visited the detailers next week.

However I was looking at the key being shiny black and was wondering how it wears and if people are using Covers/Skins to help protect it?

If so any recommendations?

thanks

James

I submitted a picture of the key cover I got from Amazon a few months ago think the title of the post was it's the little things
Great quality snug fit and good design really protects the key

Thanks nothing came up on the search when I tried it but have found it now.
JoeGTI’s is the same one I got given when picking up the car. I was just wondering what people were doing and if it was worth putting it on.

I've just a carbon look 3m vinyl sticker on both sides. Protects the black and doesn't make the key more bulky.

Is that from a website WelshGolf?

I searched for that initially thinking PPF but the only 1 I found was in America.

Was just about to post and say I couldn't find the seller anymore on ebay. But this looks exactly like what I have.

Yeah was a while back, but the skin is as good as new.... i'm looking to replace the keyring thought as the sticker is looking a little bit worse for wear!
