there is a hole the old blade slots in, the mk4 astra in had to be trimmed to fit as it as fatter, not really easy to do on something so small,

Probably fits better iirc you have to shave parts of the key case on this guide, but principals should be the same, may get an old key case from a breakers for fre if they have any lying around, i recently got 4 for my van lol, converting my caddy key to flip type

In my project thread is from when I did mine. Got the key off ebay, some can be expensive though! So be careful what you buy.

It's the brand new keys on the astras etc just converted. I could steal one from work if I wanted, but I'm no theif. They're about £30 second hand if you can find them.

Also saw your "conversion" Haimsey and it inspired me to try it, gonna give it a go soon =D

I had to modify the casing due to the shape of the blade near the top. But it can be done carefully so it doesn't look messy.
The top end of the blade has to be ground down to fit in the 'flippy' bit of the new key.

The blade in the part that comes into contact with the ignition isn't touched.

Saying that, I've had no issues with mine
