they arnt fake! you can get mk2 shape key blanks, you specify what shape blank you want when you order it. mk2 is 'HU49' then you take the blanks to your local locksmith chap and get em to cut it off your old key, cost me a couple o quid.

I probs being blind but I don't see a Mk4 stylee flippy key option?

 I was looking to replace my alarm/ remote central locking with this kit

http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=762

However, even though I changed the lock barrles to fit known keys I still can't lock or unlock the doors with the key. It won't turn. I need to use the remote for the fob, which is now rubber ducked. Am I being a thicky? Or will stripping out the old alarm/ remote central locking cure the problem? The car has central locking as standard.

HU49? Top tip :cool:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Any one have problems getting the key cut?
My key cutter man said it would be at my own risk because its not a key supplied by them,got it back and its a crap cut but i dunno if it was him or the key.Only works if wiggled in the ignition.
Thought bout getting another key cut and lopping the top off to go in my fob.
Or try another key cutter.
