Odd Question of the Day

[st13phil]

On the current (i.e. chrome sided) MB keys, there is a small spring-loaded slider that releases the conventional key. One of my W204 keys has a black slider, the other a grey one. Does anyone know if you can get other colour sliders and if they can be changed on existing keys? If so, does anyone have the part number? There's a reason for this question that will become clear after August 1st...

I've never ordered any but I remember an old post stating that those are available in multiple colours. Handy if you have more than two similar keys (I've put a different key chain instead).

I got a bag of the little sliders when I ordered a new key back in 2003
