I try to avoid looking at the key or letting anyone else see it to avoid the embarrassment of having a car shaped key like a humongous nerd.

Are you also a GTI driver? I have a 2015 GTI for daily driving duties

Anybody have tips for touching up the silver area in the body of the key (or just stripping away the silver paint)? Mine is quite scratched up, and the lower portion has gone from silver to black...

Maybe it is just me (thanks to my X wife who takes 40% of my pay check before I get my hands on it )

eBay/amazon ones are perfect

I believe the ebay version is molded in color plastic instead of painted over...but it's good enough for me.
