Default Locking wheel nut gone

As title last time i used my locking nut was saturday, put Ian's refurbs calipers on anyways last night i went up the kurb as i always do when going to the wifes mums. But last night the kurb as a chunk missing making it nice and sharp one sidewall fooked. I have the standard my00 alloys and need a new locking nut, as i must have left it on the wheel when i finished.
The tyre place got it off and fitted a new tyre but need one for the others, how do i get a locking nut, is there any codes that i can give the dealer?
Cheers for any info

When buying the car new, you get a card with the locking nut code on it. If you haven't got that you may have to get a good local wheel/tyre dealer to remove the locking nuts. They have you by the nuts, as it were! Could cost you 10 quid a wheel plus a new lock nut set! It did me!

If your lucky then your local Subaru dealer will have purchased the master set from Subaru for use in their wkshop, they could use these to find out which one you have fitted to your car and then give you the code so that you can order a replacement.

I don't suppose yr anywhere nr Canterbury are you? as I have a master set
