Are you on about changing the actually key surround plastic part or converting to a flip key?

I think either way it's pretty easy.
Just remember to swap the immo chip over too.

Right ok, i thought it was going to be a straight forward swap, mine is the usual 206 key with the screw at the bottom of the front face if that means anything? its the normal two button key

Then yes it's easy, you may have to file the circuit board down a mm or so to make it fit properly as the blanks from eBay are a little hit and miss with the sizes (well mine was). But other than that it's take the immobiliser chip out of your old key, place it in the new one and then the same with the circuit board.

changed mine to a flip key fob took less than 5 mins to change over, only problem you will have is the fob will only work one way because of the position of the transponder to unlock the ignition barrel and be able to turn the key.
