Where are my nuts?!?!?

[dabiscuit]

Hello all. I seem to have lost my locking wheel nut key and have quite literally gone nuts trying to find it.

I have a 2011 WRX STI with Pro Drive GT2 alloys. Halfords don't seem to have the key I need so wanted to know if any of you guys know which one I need!

Thanks for any help!

Do you not have a McGuard registration card that came with the lockers or were they already on the car, in which case is the ID card not with the car so you can order a new key?

I wish. I have completely misplaced my key and the little bag it came in. I know its around somewhere, but I've turned my house (and car) upside down looking for it. I;m trying to fit rally armor flaps and can't do the rear ones without removing the wheel.

This is your only other option:

Will cost you just a few quid to replace but at least you'll have it then.

Hoping dealer will sell me a spare, but I will also use that link too. Thanks.

Not sure if it will work, but I am getting a replacement key delivered to my local garage tomorrow and will pick it up. Lets hope it fits!

How did you order a spare without the key number? I'm asking as my lolvo is in the same position

I had the same type of nut on my astra and my dad managed to break the key when trying to get the wheels off. Called vauxhall and they wouldn't sell me a replacement without the code (which I didn't have). Took it down to my local kwik fit and one of the guys working there got them all off in under 5 minutes. Maybe worth giving them a call?

The dealer had kept a record of the key number in the cars file and just ordered a new one for me. Saying that I eventually found the original. It was in my car care kit, behind my sofa! Silly sod that I am.
