New key covers & base required for 2017 Macan

I'm just in the process of buying a Macan (2017) and one of the keys for the car is really tatty.
 
The centre chrome is scratched, the outer parts are a bit scratched but also the red led above the Porsche logo is broken on one (the other key is fine)
 
I've seen lots of cases on certain internet auction sites but I'm interested to know if anyone has basically took the whole of their key apart and put the circuit board into another key base?
 
This is one I've seen

And this one

I don't know if they come with the little Porsche logo, but they are scratched on both sets of keys so I'll probably need to get them too.
Although I think I read somewhere that the ones on Design911 are perfect size

Look forward to stumbling across a few of you guys now I've moved from  Boxster ownership to Macan.

Didn't need to change the silver shiny part.   The sides just clip on, no need to tale the key apart.

Thanks for that Richard
 
I'm needing the full chassis too though to put the circuit board in as one key is properly mullered.  Still works, just looks messy.
 
One of the packs that includes the centre and the buttons
