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.

Thanks Joe, That's the one I got with the car and have the same VW logo keyring already.

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.

Same, bought from Etsy

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!
-
Did have a good look on etsy last night but can't find anything now sadly as that would have been good.
Surprised that there is no one doing PPF ones. Will keep looking though.

Was looking to get a spare just in case, but to be fair I had one on the last golf key and that lasted over 2 years until I peeled it off to sell the car.

Aliexpress seem to do something similar - who knows on the quality though :huh:

No problem, good luck.
BTW i have replaced my keyring with this, great quality and a bargain price of £4.49 compared to others online.

Just for anyone else looking, I went with the ali express one and when it arrived I got 2 sets and it has the option to cover the buttons also. I have only applied it today and it seems good so will see how it gets on.
