I'd mentioned my key fob woes previously - trying to get the eBay Chinese ones (wons?) to work, the shells are good quality, at least as good as the official ones, everything matches up apart from the blade - need to get the one with the shells cut, the original fits but the spring mechanism is a different and won't retract.
However, after several tries and found someone who managed to to cut the replacement blade from the original without any woes (he actually said it was easy) - cost me €25 mind but a lot cheaper than the official part.
All works perfectly, blade flicks and locks in and out, starts car, buttons open/close car arm/disarm alarm, and look a mill times better than the knackered originals. Just need to swap the Maserati Badge over when I've ensured new ones works over time.
