I have done a really stupid thing with my 2008 GP. Only had it for a month and found the front disks to be shot. Changed them without any problems, except i did not remove the locking wheel bolt key before i took it for a test drive. Needless to say its lost.
Local dealer is no help. Thought i would order a key from ebay but suppliers say the bolts are non standard and probably McGuard type. The original bolt kit box is with the car and has part number 4?003380 on the label.
Thought i would try the left hand thread removal sockets from Halfords but they don't fit. One is to small inside and the other is to big on the outside to fit in the bolt hole.
The bolts are the rigid type with round outer edges and a star patten cut out of the flat top.
I cant drill them as they are chrome plated and as hard as hell. for that reason i an reluctant to drive an undersized socket over the bolt.
Any one got any ideas!
