Wind up Key

Thought I would share this with all my Mini friends here. My friend at work has been making wind up keys for VW bugs and other cars for years and just started making them for Mini's. I have the first one and it was a big hit in Vegas the other week.

This one mounts under the license plate and is easy to install. There are motorized and non-motorized versions.

I'd thought about making one to mount at the tow hook hole. This one looks & mounts "smart". My other idea is a sardines roof graphic with key

Hey would you know if they are still making these? I have a VW Beetle and I have been wanting one for my car.

I really want to purchase one of these but am having difficulty contacting the maker, are they still in business or is there someone who makes a similar item? I don’t want to do the cheap foam ones from Amazon.
