Cutting keys

Post by antodeco »

Hi all,
I need to get a second set of keys cut for the GT. Can a normal key cutting place do this or are they "special" keys?

Thanks

Few places will now have blanks for older cars.There should be a number on the key and sometimes autotraders at the summer car showes will have them or if you talk to sombody going to the IMM they usually have them there.

Try the small DIY/Hardware shop on North Frederick Street (top of Parnell Square East). That's where I get all my keys cut as they have the latest computer aided technology for cutting keys so can copy almost every type of key.
