Duplicate Keys?

[TT Tim]

I've ordered a new key from TVR Personal Possessions but unfortunately they don't know when it will be dispatched.

My local Vauxhall dealer wasn't very helpful when I asked to get a copy cut (I'd been told that the key is a Vauxhall one), does anyone know if you can get one cut using the 3 numbers stamped onto the blade of the key or are these unrelated?

Thanks

yes, I think the alarm code is in the leather folder at home, might get a couple of those nice all in one key/alarm fobs instead of a new seperate key andalarm fob...never really liked the vxhaul jobbie..

Yep, that's the one I'm waiting for. But at the moment I only have one key!

Okay, to conclude this thread...

I've had 2 spare keys cut at my local Timpsons (Shoe repairs and key cutting), at the grand cost of £10.50 for the pair, you can get just one for £7.50, steep but not as costly as some options.

It is such a shame IMHO that TVR build such a fantastic car as the Chimaera 500 and then give you a key to be embarrassed buy, kind of reminds me of those 'Ashamed of your mobile' adverts .

Does anyone on here have access to a foundry and we can start making some 'tasteful' blanks? Even my Nissan 300 comes with a Titanium key with 300zx embossed in it.
