by the looks of it you need a new one, you just need a new key tip and not the whole thing at least
249 bypass, ths fr3 engine mounts, S/S decat, 2.5'' straight through exhaust, induction kit, forge split r, coilovers, 18'' alloys, much more in the pipeline

Looks like that keys had its use. You just need a new blade for that key and copy your old one at a key cutter. Cheap for cutting about £5-£7, just need the blade.

you could cut the chip out of the key,remove the coweling around the barrel and fix the chip to it at lest you could start it with plyers then till you can get another key,ive done it with a new a4 for remote start its easy if your carefull
