key fob cracked. any thing i can do?

[jms700]

fell over the other day and cracked my key with central locking, still works perfectly but theres a big hole in the plastic, wondering if there was any way of getting a new case or something ? or if i just have to live with it ?
thanks

What kind of key is it? One of the newer flip out Fiat ones like these...

...if it is you may be able to get a new housing on eBay or some place similar and transfer the internals across but I'm not totally sure if you can. If you have to get a new one of those from Fiat it costs quite a few £££s.

as said you can just buy a replacement housing and swap all the bits over think the fiat 500 with the cover clips are a bit harder to find at the moment but the one above are pretty easy to find around

If you've got the red key, you should be able to get a new one made up at Fiat I think. Don't know how much it'd come in at though...
