possibly about 150

but if you get one off ebay make sure it is a uncut one so you can get it cut to your door locks (which vw will probably have to do also)

you will have to produce your v5 document and probably proof of ID ie bill/passport so they know you are not going to rob a car and they know it is yours  :grin:

my key's logo is worn too, i'm going to live with it for the time being, however my plan is to get a new one from flea bay.

take my worn key apart (as if you were going to change battery)

put back together using the original half and the new half with logo on

this way i'll only need to get the blade cut as the half with the battery in contains all the electronics that would need to be programmed.

thats the plan, if that wont work then let me know.
