Ordering new car keys

[croarky]

only went and lost the keys to my fiat punto last night whilst out and dont have a spare

nearest fiat dealership is gateshead but how long will it take to get new ones and how much?

[wiggi28]

was your car issued with a red key ?

[croarky]

it wasnt, what is a red key?

[wiggi28]

what year is the car ?

[croarky]

its a 2003 fiat punto active sport

[wiggi28]

thats not too bad then as with the early type red key the dealers would try sell you the whole ecu etc ...big money like the alfas

the fact you have no key to duplicate does help but personally i would recommend looking in the local auto trader and finding somebody who programmes keys to save money and avoid the dealer all together

try sending a pm to delambo i think he does this kind of thing

you need chassis number and proof its yours etc.
