Terrible Key Fob Badge

[JClem]

Does anyone know of third party badges that will fit the Emira key? As you can see mine seems to have suffered over the last 5 months.

5 months with your Emira... keep rubbing it in... (pun intended) 😁

Some folks are indeed a bit touchy about that.

That should be a warranty replacement.

Scratch a little more and you might find the hidden key to unlock the ECU...

I had the same issue and found a 3D domed Lotus mini badge (18mm) from Divine Handicraft - only £3. Fits perfectly if a little raised but did the job! See pic

Glad someone found you a solution, that looks pretty beat up! I liked the shiny black and chrome finish as well as the badge but figured if it went in the key basket with others it would pick up a ton of small dings and scratches. Thought the same would happen in my pockets too if there was change or other keys in there, so I keep it "quarantined" on its own when in a pocket. Any key would suffer the same and the only reason my previous Vantage key didn't is it had its own leather wallet - but these were not the answer as they were absolutely notorious for the key slipping straight out and getting damaged when it hit the tarmac, often quite badly...

Never an issue with good old metal keys of course. Although Lotus liked to give you 2 or 3 different ones to use for door, fuel filler, ignition and boot/trunk!

Dang. Looks like I have to PPF and ceramic coat the key fob as well. Hope there are no bubbling issues.

@GRP sells some replacement key badges for previous models, but they're 12mm (I think you need 18mm). Might still be worth reaching out to them since they might offer Emira sized replacements soon.

We can defintely make badges for these, just need an exact measurement and we can get them done!

I will be keeping mine in a Faraday bag to keep the car from turning itself on constantly, so I'll be sure to use one with a soft lining.

Thanks Briggo. Now just got to attach the mini Magma.

Couldn't find one without black pack? 😄

I've had both of mine in Faraday bags since last January, one in the safe which I alternate every so often. They're still as new.......

Does the key fob use a rolling key chain?

I definitely need one if you make them. 12 months and 11k miles means my badge is not looking good

We should have our car soon and we will measure to get these made.
In the meantime if you have a set of calipers and can pull a measurement for us we can get things going sooner.

I don’t think these fobs are very good at all and I’m pretty sure they are not metal on the sides because one of mine has tiny chips from the previous owner dropping it I guess. I think it’s bad that a lot of solutions involve covers when it should have been up to the standard of the rest of the car.

Or...a 100k car and a $10 fob that would cost $300 to replace.

Yes plastic. The chrome plating rubs off.
