I'm the guy who buys nail clippers every week and a half because I lose them so often. I'm pretty good with car keys though. Anyway, will these keys fit a 77 euro?

Thanks.

Are there any aftermarket blanks that will work for the 924, maybe in stainless steel? The keys I have are identical to the keys in that picture, but they're pretty soft, and they twist easily...

I go to the lock smitth all the time this is a standard vw key, that is offerend never seem to have much problems witht he keys I get from the. DId buy some cheap copies from ebay once and they where cheap compared to what I get at the locks smith.

If you care, you can get a key blank with a Porsche symbol embossed into a round rubber section. That's what I have for my '80 924.

That's exactly what I had, was too busy admiring another 924 in a car park many miles from home, put my key in the passenger door and turned it... my wife says the look of horror on my face was classic as i realised the key was bust then turned to her and asked if she had the spare on her.... smart arsed b*tch gave it "ohh, i don't know, i'll look" - knowing fine well that she always carries it

If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks, get the keyhead with the light!

I received two of them as gifts and they are pretty cool...

At $36 US for one key plus shipping, eBay may not be the place for that.

I believe I paid about $10 for the blank with the Porsche symbol, but this was about 5 years ago, so I could be mistaken. If you just need a key to survive, you can usually get a suitable replacement at most hardware stores that cut keys, since the key is shared by a lot of VW and Audi models.
