Rover owners: Flip Key conversion

Finally decided to do the flip key conversion on one of my keys.

Bought the flip shell of Remotefobcentre on eBay for 9.99 and took it to Mr Keys in Mexborough Rotherham 9as noted from a thread on the other forum about them being bale to cut the blank) as I was there today with work to get the blank cut for 5.00. My local Timpsons could not do it and neither could a key and lock specialist that deals with just about every key known to man, they could have done me a key with the key code as their machine is automatic and cuts to the key code, you can get these cut but it needs to be an independent key cutting shop that has a manual cutting machine to copy your old key pattern to the new blank.

Great service from both remotefobcentre and Mr keys, key works perfectly no issues and feels so much nicer to use snd no more blade jabbing me in the leg whilst in my pocket, so now I have 2 fully working keys still but also the original key that will manually unlock my doors but not start the car should I ever lock my keys in the car.

A cheap upgrade well worth doing IMHO, if I am totally truthful the new casing is a little rough in places but on the whole unless you stare at it closely you don't really notice it.

Not sure what I am going to do with the logo situation as yet as I would like the MG logo on it, but then again the old key had the Rover shaped button that was blank, a big oversight on the part of MGR/BMW by only having the one key design.
