[QUOTE="jarance, post: 555452, member: 21"] It not as simple as that. If you cut open the key just to change the top cover. it might not work cos the china casing is clip on type whereas the original key is completely sealed and glue together. You may have to file down the new casing and glue back the cover with black silicon. I have done it before and it is not noticeable when the glue is dried. As for the transfer of the original key (metal blade) to the new casing, it is not possible cos the metal blade is casted into the plastic casing. [/QUOTE]
