Lotus Elan Central

I've noticed on E-bay there's a lot of Lotus logo'd stuff that is coming in from Hong Kong etc. Handbrakes, tax disc holders and so on and so on...
Now what I'd really like is a nice Lotus logo'd key fob to replace the standard GM generic black rubbish. I'm guessing many people feel the same?

So this is an invite to the clever souls amongst us (I am certainly not one) that may be able to think up and produce such an item. I am incapable!
Any takers for the challenge?

if its like the hong kong stuff on ebay then just buy a lotus sticker/domed badge and tick it on what you got already..... :-D

the only thing is...how many of us still have the lotus original alarms?......you'll need numbers to get something 'made'......

other than that its hand crafting all the way...

As daft as it sounds I wouldn't mind doing that. I tried to get the Lotus logo from an old set of valve caps but could not prise one loose.
Anyone know where such stickers could be obtained?

From Lotus themselves, will this do for under a fiver? (Scroll down to the Pin Badges) Around 13mm diameter apparently.

Cut the pin bits off the back, smooth it off and, as G says, just stick it on.

HI,

Bell and Colville do Lotus key fobs. I got one for my birthday off the misses.

No I don't. I've got an after market alarm.
Just want the bit at the end of the key. Like a normal mass produce car would have. Something sexy that identifies my key as a LOTUS key. I'll check out B&C.
Thanks!
