But it comes with a citroen key allrweady in it!

Can you change the barrels over? So i can use my barrel from me fuel cap onto that new one?

How easy is this to do? Any more info about this please?

Also going to need to paint the fuel cap! Can this be done with spray paint easy?

here is the trick to taking them off.
hold cap in palms of your hand with key still in.
make sure key is facing you.
put fingures on the out side of the cap and squeez.
it should came apart from the barrel.
lock the cap and take the key out.
job done.

as nax said. Think you have to lock it into the fuel cap reciever on the car
to be able to take the key out. Then you take the key out lift the blue bit
out, put the key thats not for your car back into the white part in your
fuel cap then take it out, clip the standard cap onto the correct white part
for you key and off you go!
