Called my dealer. The box with the planform can be bought (doesn't come automatically with the Emira). Any dealers may give it as a gift.

Oh ffs.... here was me thinking they'd got something right 🙄

Seriously, the nice box is extra? I would be quite pissed off if I get the keys in "memory stick" plastic packaging.

This isn't a $20k MG.

The box has no function, and I would have to throw it away (limited real estate) anyway, so happy to not get it. I barely have the space to store the car, let alone a half empty box

I would store the second spare key in it.
It's more special than a piece of plastic that I will be throwing in the trash.

Is there any official leather sheath to protect the key ? The piano paint surface seems easy to scratch. Here is my 86 leather sheath, I bought it from TOYOTA dealer.

That's a great question. I suspect we will need to PPF the key too

And all the piano black interior bits!

And all the piano black interior bits!

Oh yes, absolutely! I'm hopeful that there may be some aftermarket carbon fibre replacements for these one day. Might do carbon style PPF for these in the interim.

I think there is a special kind of kangaroo leather in Australia that stretches well and should be ideal for the purpose

Tough as nails, used for motorcycle leathers. I'll hop to it!

Wow, how many of these would you need for a full leather suit???

Kangaroo skins are much much bigger than that

Ah, but these scrotum pouches would fit the Emira key nicely, don't you think?

well at least it doesnt weigh much, also great for the planet and the oceans...
It may make its way into the interior in the eletre.....
just goes to show all this sustainability and how bothered they/all manufacturers really are about it...
So maybe with that info there we can request a duplicate key and get a new lotus for ourselves...ie yours.. haha

It's odd to put your smart key in this pouch. I prefer an aftermarket car key case.

Is it just me or does the first picture of the key just make it look like a cheap plastic thing.

Does it have any weight to it? Or is it super light?

Looks like good old piano black that will display every fingerprint it’s exposed to. Better get it ceramic coated.

Don't really give a sh*t about keys, but this one looks boring, big, and cheap.

It shows that you've got the balls to drive the Emira !
