And so easy! I will share the secret as its a bit of fun to do as well.. Go to the keyman on your local highstreet, get a key cut but not the plastic round VW, one of the oldskool ones..
Chop the sides off so its straight all the way up.
Then, get your screwdriver, grip the blade and the handle in 2 pairs of molegrips and heat via blowlamp, stove, ect, and gently pull till they come apart. Then, heat your blade in a pair of movegrips and when hot, push into the screwdriver using the heat of the blade to work its way in. When its there, cool with water and enjoy!
Took about 5 minutes!
Just be careful of hot things! Including the grips, and take care not to set the screwdriver on fire!

I see a bling contest going here. Almost as much bling as Jed's van.

Almost. I don't think I could outbling Jed though And, I don't think I'll try (even though it does look like I'm making a conscious effort to!! )

dont do the vauxhall wheels.

they are 5x110 pcd and have steel inserts.. so its not even posible to have a machine shop alter the pcd.

if.... you had proper centre location like alot of cars do then you could run wobble/shift bolts as the centre location would meen things are kept where they should be..

they dont fit a vw properly and its not even that easy to make them fit half right. dont do it just because they are cheap..
