   it says it fits saxos but the fob internals look slightly different to mine, or even tried a genuine citroen 2 button flip key, will the internals fit inside?

   I posted the wrong link first post, I meant this one:
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123
   
   As i say though its for a different shape key fob as in the pics, i'm wondering if the saxo fob internals could be made to line up to the button?

   That second link says the uncut blade in picture 3, it doesn't actually say the Saxo key fob internals will fit in the casing but tbh its £10 so why fuss over it. If it fits its all good if not its not a massive loss.

   not tried one of these, but if memory serves someone has actually done something similar, might be worth a look around.

   Got to agree, worth taking a gamble. Can always relist on ebay and your loose a couple of quid tops.

   got one!!! cheap shit as usual. nothing lines up not even close. but is a guide on here to make one yourself that u may attempt with it.
   also it comes with a blade but blade isn;t the same size as saxo and when u come to get it cut and use it on car it wont work.

   I was just wondering if somebody had tried it so i could decide whether to get one of those, or buy a genuine 2 button citroen key and mod it to fit.

   I think the guy who did it made a whole custom thing using his aftermarket alarm fob and fibreglassing it into a different flip key, cba with that lol.

   Thanks for the help mate, i'll give that a miss then, i might get a genuine 2 button citroen one and mod the internals to fit then use a spare ke and dremel it down to fit in the blade holder, did it before on my old Mazda using an RX8 flip key, worked well tbh.
