Couple of small updates I wanted to brighten my clocks up abit as they were a little dull the actual bulb colour etc.Seen a post in the mk3 section where a member had replaced the bulbs with some white lcd ones and drilled 2 extra holes to allow you to fit more bulbs.This looks simple enough so I had ago and it came out really well I know others have done the better one where you solder more bulbs etc but Im pants at fiddlie things like that  :grin: Ive also bought a VW Golf flip key fob which is empty and the same key as mine but allows you to fit it to a flip style key of course I know you cant use the buttons but once Ive fitted the chip in the key will still work fine ive cheated a little bit as when I went to get it cut the chap offered to fit it all for me for £15 so Ive done that  :grin: What I will have a look at is if I can somehow get my sigma alarm circuit to fi in the new fob worth a try thanks for looking  :wink:

Where did you get your key blank from Blu? Clocks look really good and I have a fob handy so want to do mine. Only place I've seen the key though is on ebay.  :smiley:

I just opened up my spare key and you will see a small black chip towards the top of the key you just prize it out and on the new fob theres a space simlar to your old key you just put it in there simple to do.Only thing I had to do was on the new fob was like a piece of thin plastic that kinda sits over the top of the chip I had to warm a screw driver up and take some of this away so the fob shut right to as it didnt sit flush at first not hard to do mate.

This was the key I got
