    Came across a video on YouTube of a chap showing of his new slim keyfob trim for the mini, I did a little investigation and ordered a few to try them out, should be delivered next week, has anyone else tried these out ?

    Seen quite a few cool designs people have 3d printed, the jcw disk and caliper is a very cool one. I think William has it.

    Yeah I seen the disk and calliper, it’s nice, I thought this would be worth a shot to slim the key down a little

    Have seen the disc and brake trim, shame about the R56 keys on my mini one will not allow me to fit a trim.
