And by members, I mean anybody who posts on the forums here at PSMINI.
Some of you may remember that I posted a how-to several years ago about refurbishing your first generation "Clamshell" style key. I've used North American Motoring and other forums that cover a broader geographic area to help other MINI owners and take on some of the trickier refurbishing jobs, for a small fee of course. If you have the original style "Clamshell" key (used from 2002-2004 and seen on the left) and are interested in changing it over to a flip-open key (seen on the right) I can make you this special offer: OK- so I've had the locksmith here in West Seattle cut a couple of these switchblade style keys and they work just fine. I'll still do the labor for free for PSMINI posters (at least those who can meet me in West Seattle or want to mail it to me and have a Washington State address- no carpetbaggers!). This goes for switchblade or clamshell style keys. You'll only be on the hook for the shell, battery and microswitches if you need them. Thanks- Bruce P.S.- this if for MINIs made between 2002 and 2004 only. If you have the flatter, three button key or the new round fob thing that isn't really a key the components can't be transferred to this style of shell. If you need help with your three button key I have discovered a place that will work on them- contact me for more details. Edited by valvashon - June/04/14 at 8:49am |

I actually like my clamshell key as well. The rounded sides fit well in my pocket, but good luck with finding a guinea pig.
