Painted key hole cover for RHD LBB
Hi there fellow M2 owners
I've been looking to swap out the drivers side door handle cover to one without a key hole. It's a common mod and IND sell them for $44 a pop before shipping. Sounds good and I highly rate IND but their shipping prices are really steep for getting such a cheap part to the U.K (plus exchange rates are killing the pound ATM). http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...-keyhole-cover So I found the correct part number on realoem and it is £15 from my local dealer. However this is a primed version only. BMW do offer a painted version but with delivery quoted in months and they wouldn't give me a price. Before I took delivery of my LBB M2, I got my dealer to coordinate with a local paint shop to colour code my M Perf carbon rear spoiler and I'm happy with the colour match - cost was £145. So I thinking of going ahead but then thought it will most probably cost me the same to spray 1 or 10 key hole covers so I wanted to know if there were any other other U.K. LBB M2 owners who would also like this? Installation seems straight forward with only basic tools required. IND offer a install guide on their site. Minimum cost could be as low as £35 based on 10 covers - £15 per cover plus £15 paint and no more than a fiver for postage. Maximum number i'd be prepared to do is 10 and minimum 5 (other than simply doing my own). If there are only 5 then it would be more like £50 per. I'm not looking to make any money, just trying to give a little back to the forum as I mostly lurk! So I'm seeing what interest there is before I order a bunch of keyhole covers! Lee me know what you guys think and either reply here or PM me. Thanks |

How do you open the door when the battery goes flat? Your key stops working or some other electrical fault?

You probably pop the covers off with your key to access the physical lock cylinder in the event of battery failure of the key fob. That is how my Golf R is.
