Been wondering if this would work for a while now...
I have always prefured the look of the Astra key fob, its a nicer shapre, feels better in your hand etc etc,
My questions is could u make it work with the Corsa C?
There are always loads knocking around on ebay,
I just think the corsa c one is a dull and boring shape
Corsa Key

Astra Key

I know what your thinking, bah pointless, no need, etc etc,
But is a mod, a mod to make somthing look better.
Just like a bodywork mod ;D

If its a case of just swapping the case over, then yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't.

my key already looks like that!
think there is a small chip inside, and as long as vuax arent being difficult, then they should be the same size. (dont hold me to it !)

ffs its a key,
and no, as im imagining it will have a 8066 chip in it, which wont match the chip in your corsa
also the fact, if it did, you would have to take it to vaux and let them plug it inot whatever version they have of the GEKO VW systerm, which will cost your aroun £50 just to code the key and the car

Oh dear, seems a good idea. Swapping keys, making love to a Samco hose and wanting to paint suspension chrome. You should start your own modding company mate
