You can get a replacement, there should be a little form in the box.

Really??? Looks like a total mission to me, the nut to totally round and the key fits into a small shape in the middle.
I dont have the box they came in as they came on the car

you gonna have to get them removed then, as they wont be able to replace the key without the product key number thingy
