How to replace the key cover of a Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Key

To perform the replacement of the key shell of a Mini Cooper car we will need a few tools: a small utility knife with a very thin blade and a small screwdriver. We take the key of our car and with the help of the cutter we open the body; to do this we will have to insert the blade into the edge of the shell and pass it entirely over the entire circumference of the same, therefore along all the edges. At this point, once the shell has been opened, we will have the remote control circuit in front of us; we extract the latter and insert it into the new shell. To open the new body, it will be sufficient to pry with the tip of the screwdriver only on the upper edge of the same. We close the body by simply applying pressure with the fingers.
