S@m 156 Posted November 27, 2014 Greetings all, Just a quick question this one, did all 205's have the same type of key from the factory? The classic, square Valeo/Neiman one that can be seen here; http://i.imgur.com/ePRmRIT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6t8qo8j.jpg The reason i ask is because i all my 205's have had that type of key until i bought my current GTI, which is an early ph1.5 on an E-plate, and with it came this key; http://i.imgur.com/gfYY9OP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZBVFA3b.jpg ....which i just thought to be some spurious aftermarket key blank until i noticed that in this period 205 advert; ...the spurious key can be seen as genuine (at around the 14-16sec mark) and then i looked closer and noticed that the round key is also Valeo/Neiman, made in France and appears to have the period Valeo font. I know there is no real point to this and it might seem a bit 'anorak-ish' to some, but does anyone else have the round type key - maybe its a ph1 thing that i've not encountered before? I always thought there was only one type for all phases and having had a search i can't find any mention/picture of the round type. Any information is appreciated.

Stu 18 Posted November 27, 2014 Weirdly, my very first 1.0 XE had this round/oval type of key, but no other 205 ive had since has; that was an E reg car... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@m 156 Posted November 29, 2014 Seems they are rarer than i'd thought, or just aftermarket. Strange how it appears in the advert though, but maybe that was the directors key randomly plucked from a different car for the shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
