First impression? This tiny Audi keychain (4cm x 4cm) looks straight out of a vintage car brochure. The metal feels surprisingly sturdy in hand, and that epoxy resin coating gives it a glossy, almost candy-like finish.
But here's the thing - the 'white' background is actually more of a creamy beige. My friend who's an Audi enthusiast spotted it immediately ('That's not factory white!'). From arm's length though, the red rings pop nicely against the off-white.
Used it for two weeks clipped to my work keys. Zero scratches despite daily abuse in my pocket with other metal items. The stainless steel claim holds up - no rust after accidentally leaving it in a damp jacket pocket overnight.
Is it worth £8.99? Honestly, no. At £3-4 this would be an instant recommend. The craftsmanship is decent (clean edges, crisp logo), but you're definitely paying for the 'retro' branding premium. Got mine as a gift for my mechanic cousin - he adored it, but I'd hesitate to buy another at full price.
Pro tip: Looks fantastic hanging from rearview mirrors if you're into car decor!
