I've seen a complete "how to" on this on another forum - Can't remember which though sorry. It was a lot of work though IIRC as the metal thicknesses are completely different.

I love my mk2 key with the metal badge in the middle!

Coolest key I've seen of any car so far.

You're lucky, I don't have the originals  :sad:

I do like the look of the MK4 key fobs for MK2's.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
