Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Deffo get the key cut before you fix it back in the key..
I had problems trying to get the pin back in, got it started, then taped it a bit and it it ping'ed across the room..
Managed to find it after an hours searching, so be a bit careful.
Well worth fitting a new pin, did you get a new onw with your new blade ?
I got my blade and pin off ebay (Autodude I think he was called) which came from china..
The blade started a nice chrome colour, but then after it was cut, the grooves went a dull goldy colour.
As the original didn't do this, I can only think that my new blade is not as good quality as the original.
Does the job though..

Meant to ask, you guys who are playing with flip keys, are you planning to use Transponders out of syour pare keys, or get new Transponders to fit yor flip keys and then code to car ??
Just another word of warning really, if you do decided to use Transponders from your spare key, be very careful as the break very easily when they are removed.
I bust mine, and had to go along the route of getting a new Transponder, and then coding it to the car, which was loads of hassle !!
Still, I learnt loads and now know how to do it, so that is something I guess !!
Gaz, you were at the MK meet last night weren't you ?
So was I, I was going to have a word, but you were with the lot that disapeared outside.
Never mind, maybe next time..

Yep, that was how my key blade was cut..
I then fitted it in the flip key using the pin etc once it was cut.
They do come out if you use a small punch or a nail of a similar size to the pin..
Try and avoid the temptation of when it is part out, of using pliars to pull it the rest of the way, as this is what knackered my pin, it squashed where I gripped it.
Wasn't a problem though, as I got a new pin with my new blank blade !!
If you don't have a new pin, you should be able to re-use the old one as long as you are careful when you remove it.
I have heard of guys managing to remove the pin and blade and fit a new one without taking the plastic case apart at all.
The pin can be seen if you flip the key blade out about half way. I tried this, but you are working against the spring of the key all the time and it is very difficult to hold in the correct position.
I ended up taking the case apart and dismantling it all, but then if you fitting a new transponder you will have to do this anyway !!
