Just burned a hole in my MacBook space bar. Can I get a replacement?

Smouldering tip of a cigarette fell on it and by the time I noticed there was a hole in it.

Not sure if it's unibody- top is in one peace, but the bottom is screwed on? I bought it few months ago.

Anyone knows where I could get a new space bar?

Take it to the nearest Apple Store.

I just had a whole new topcase put on - costs £75, and a Mac specialist care person will do it for you - search on Mac website

Will do, but I read that apparently they tell you to change the whole keyboard? Hence asking whether anyone knows a site where you can buy seperate keys. I tried one for macbook pro but they were out of stock.

Porcupine, I don't want to spend so much money .

It's just the space bar, it's functional and I put a bit of tape over the hole.

Try these guys. Looks like it would be about £7 if they've got the keycap you want.

Perfect Thank you. The only problem is that apparently there are two types of key caps and I have to check which one I've got...and that means I have to take one out. No clue how to do that, but I think I've seen some instructions on the net.
