I’ve got some silicone key covers which are great and made the key nicer to handle.  Come in various colours and stay put, don’t roll.  Not GTI logo’d but very GTI looking with stripe and honeycomb design.  Maybe a red one for your sis.

Had one of these myself and it worked well. It might be worth looking for the one that is actually designed for the GTI key as it's slightly bigger than the standard one with the extra 'GTI' logo'd bit.

I've seen them online but not bought any yet.

Thanks for the ideas, I think I have two keyrings on order, some new Bosch wiper blades, a Tornado Red touch up stick. Not sure about the rubber sleeves as she has key less and it probably not see the light of day in the bottom of a hand bag, then again nor the key chains. :laugh:

Not sure why anyone would need one of these, must be for the GTI obsessed owner that has everything else;

And the Audi 12v plug, small change but worthwhile :smiley:

Could you elaborate on this?

It's the plug filling what would've been the cigarette lighter socket - the standard VW one is just a sorry looking bit of black plastic whereas the Audi one is a bit more blingy. I'd post a picture but I can't at the moment :rolleyes: It's about £5. It won't change your life but it does look so much better and is a nice addition to the Golf's cabin :smiley:
