Hi all,
Tagged you @Rob2k68 and @WarwickL since you were waiting for the pics / mini-review... Oh and @batch as he loves anything carbon (and now I understand why! )
Thought I'd make a separate thread for it since the other wasn't specifically about this cover.
First thoughts... WOW! I am seriously impressed with this for £23.99!

It looks amazing! And fits perfectly! Super thin. I had to apply and cut the 3M strips myself, not an issue though.
Only two other downsides... And they're not really major (second one is a bit of a positive for me lol, read on...)
The space for a keyring ring at the bottom is reduced slightly to the point where it cannot be angled / twisted / spun easily without hitting/lifting the cover a bit... BUT the keyring ring that I have is one of the 'flat' style ones, if you had a traditional round one (or a smaller diameter one) I imagine it would be fine. I'll do some testing with this if I find some other keyrings. The flat one can only be changed angle when it is at the slightly thinner point of the ring (where the spiral ends) - hope that makes sense.
The other thing to note is that it reduced the distance the key works from by a noticeable amount, but not to the point of where it would cause any issue. People online say the same thing. But I can still go 11 car widths away from my car, and then diagonally across a car park that is probably 4 car lengths wide and it still unlocks my car fine. Which is more than enough distance. What no longer works was that without the cover I could unlock it through 4 walls and probably about 20m distance roughly sitting inside, but that's pointless anyway haha, to be honest I'd rather it didn't do that and am happier as it now won't get accidentally unlocked if I press it while it is in my pocket somewhere and the car is outside... This is probably slightly better for cloning of keyless keys also because it would reduce the range they could be picked up from outside a house I imagine.
Overall very happy, I'd rate it a 9/10.
I'll let the pics do the talking...
Thoughts??
