DESCRIPTION A very rare chance to own a real genuine piece of Formula 1 history, Newey, Vettel, Red Bull history! These keyrings have been made from a front wing element from the 2008 Red Bull Racing RB4 formula 1 car, as driven by David Coulthard & Mark Webber, as well as non other than world champion Sebastian Vettel, these look genuinely superb. This is a seriously limited edition, so get them while you can. The shape of these wing sections just shout speed and with these you get to see how F1 car aerodynamics are put together. The front is the famous blue of Red Bull and the rear is bare carbon fibre which looks properly beautiful. The RB4 was the first Red Bull car that Adrian Newey had a hand in designing and we all know what an exceptional man he is. This is also the first Red Bull car Sebastian Vettel drove, the season after he was called up to the team from Torro Rosso and was and played instrumental role testing this very car car in 2008. These keyrings have been hand cut, the edges smoothed and finished with the famous Red Bull branding, with the red being a glittered permanent vinyl which really catches the light and gives it a beautiful subtle sparkle. They have then been set upon a high-end silver tones keychain to really finish them off. They are finished with a high end gunmetal great keyring finding. The keyrings are mainly all the same in size, we're talking milimeters in difference if at all, but due to the shape of the wing, some will be different in size, however the majority are as pictured above. Your keyring will be picked randomly. To protect the decals, they have had a layer of PPF, the same PPF (Paint protection film) as used in Formula 1. This gives each piece a lovely gloss finish and also provides protection to the decals. The keyrings will come with a signed and numbered, double sided COA artiF1ed art card and boxed within a lovely white giftbox which features the iconic Rell Bull logo. With everything nowadays, prices have increased and Formula 1 is no exception( just look at the stupid prices being charged to go to a race), F1 car parts are getting harder and harder to find, the prices have gone up a huge amount and as suchI have had to increase my prices, but have done my very best to keep the increase as low as possible. WHY I DO THIS Having witnessed the waste produced by Formu l a One over the past 20 years I decided that I could make a difference and at the same time give fans of the sport a unique opportunity to own the ultimate in F1 memorabilia. There are stories about fields in southern England having shipping containers packed full of F1 ® cars and parts being buried, certainly this was true of teams up the early 2000's. More recently many teams arch ive parts, but these archives have to be emptied, many items are destroyed (see the secretly filmed video of what one of the largest teams in F1® do when clearing out their archives) and due to their inability to be recycled, are put into landfill, something which will only have a huge detrimental effect to our environment in the future. Below I have embedded video of what McLaren do with their parts they no longer have a use for, pretty saddening and shocking that so much material like this ends up in landfill. ABOUT ME I had always wanted to do something about the waste our sport creates, when about 15 years ago the idea of selling obsolete, damaged, scrapped car parts came to mind. I didn't want to just sell on the parts on as is, I wanted to give my fellow fans the chance of owning the best memorabilia I could possibly offer and with my arts background I found that these F1® car parts really leant themselves to being redesigned and re-purposed into something new, something beautiful, something cool. Over the years however I have had to call a halt to this process due the ongoing battle I'm having with Multiple Sclerosis and the inability to physically be able to put these gifts together. Right now I am having periods of good health which enable me to get back to doing what I absolutely love, the design and manufacturing of upcycled F1® car part gifts. I am using this opportunity to give something back to the organisations which have helped not only myself, but every single person with MS to maintain, manage and cope with the symptoms this illness presents. POSTAGE Due to the Royal Mail losing so many parcels and the increase in scam buyers I have been forced into sending all parcels by recorded delivery and as such I can no longer offer a free postage method. I'm trying to find an alternative courier service but in the meantime I will make sure to only charge what is quoted and where I can, I'll try and be cheaper than what the Royal Mail quotes. UK Postage- Postage within the UK will be sent via 2nd class signed for. If however, you require a speedier method of postage then please select 1st class recorded upon completing your order. International Shipping- I will ship worldwide, if you can't see a price for the country you reside in then please message me before bidding and I will get a shipping quote sent over ASAP.
