Default Broke my Mcgard locking key

I've managed to break my bloody locking key today!
Not sure what model, but all 5 nuts need this key to take the wheels off, also all 5 have STI written on them.
Is there a way i can get a new key? Otherwise i'm ****ed! Because i'll have to get all bloody 20 nuts off.

Any help or ideas?

When you bought the locking nuts they should have come with a code so you can get a new key.

I also lost mine & also couldn't find the code (it's on paper and comes with the locking nuts). McGard are excellent, and they asked me to prove the car was mine with log book and other paper work & also send them a photo showing the internal pattern of the nuts. They sent me a replacement for a reasonable price & the day the replacement arrived I found the original
the email address is:
cs@mcgard.de
contact:
Sonia Wiszniewski
This is what they asked for:
Hello

Thank you for your email.

Could you please take a clear digital picture direct in front of:

-the wheel lock on the car
-your car reg. papers
-your driving license

Further we also need:

-complete name and address
-credit card number and expiry date
-one key costs Euro 18,00 / two keys Euro 30,00 (about GBP 12,00 / GBP 20,00)

Hope this is of help for you.

Best regards

As Dipsy has quoted the part number for the spline drive key is 65100 and when I last purchased one direct from McGard Germany it cost 5 Eur.

Another contact in customer service is Senta Staudinger (assuming she's still there).

We're here to help: Call our customer service: Our service hotline: 00800 25 99 34 00 (free for D, F, GB, I, E, NL, S, P, PL), all other countries: 49 7133 9019-34 or E-mail: cs@mcgard.de

Probably cheaper to go to McGard Germany direct (and quicker).
