Keys

[Tommy_Pickles]

What key covers has everyone gone for?

I chose the barcode set, it comes with the red (to match my car) the black with 500 barcode logo and blue.

Also, the key is a pop up one? Is there some kind of button to press to flip the key open?

Yeah I think it will be the fiat sign, I drove one the other week but it was already started when I got in it so didn't notice the key. They are similar the the punto ones they have a small silver button on it and you press it and the key flips out, a bit like a pen knife. I am not getting a colour coded key. x

They're expensive for plastic.

I can see a trade happening in spare covers from the sets.

They are a bit on the steep side, but I suppose it would be cool for it to match your car! I got the next size up alloys up insead of the key cover. I am going to wait and see if I can get a nice cover cheap somewhere. I'm sure in a while you will be able to get hold of some on ebay. x

There arn't any colours which really match with Chazure If you like an individual design but don't want all 3, Nuova500shop.com - An Independent Shop and Tuning Service for the Fiat 500 are selling them individually for £15. Still rather expensive for a bit plastic though...

That site is great thanks for that, I will probs get one now, or ask for it for my birthday. I didn't realise that you could get then separately already! x

I think the key covers would be a nice little sweetener for those who are splashing out £10K on a supermini with no discount .. don't you think?

Go on, ask your dealer nicely ....

My boyfriend works for a garage that has a fiat franchise so they aren't making any profit on mine (staff discount and that) so I have no extras thrown in, I can't complain. Got my mats at cost price though so there are a few nice perks. They really don't make much out of the fiat 500's so it will be difficult to get many bits thrown in with the price but I recon they could stretch to the key covers or some mats. They get set targets to sell a rediculous number of cars so its a unit going out of the door as far as they are concerned.

Sorry to take this thread off at a bit of a tangent.

I think I read (probably on this forum, but, cannot find the thread) that the 500 only comes with one remote key?

Is this all models or just Pops?

And, If it is only one remote, does anyone know the cost of getting a second one?

Thanks Mike
