Unfortunataly for you, you can't get any new keys without the red key! and to get a new red key you have to get a new ECU, that will cost between £1000 and £1500, if i was you i would look very hard for that red key, because without it you 'cannot' get any more keys!
 
yes you can, you get the blue cloned at any decent key cutters. ignore above
 
Yes, you can copy key but will it work ?? Will you be able to start engine with it???

I think with red key you can make new copied blue keys to work, if I remember correctly.
 
yup timpsons clone keys no problem, got one done the other month from my blue key and been using it ever since, only £20 too... (am i an advert or summat!?) they scan the transponer in the existing key then transfer the code to the blank key, works fine every time!

You could try claiming on your house insurance for lost keys. As I'm sure you're aware, to get Fiat to replace the red key will cost hundreds as a lot of the electronics need to be changed. If you don't replace the red key, you will be able to clone the blue key at locksmiths such as Timpsons for about £20, and its very unlikeley that you will ever need the red key.
But it will be more difficult to sell the car on without a red key, and you probably will have to drop the price (although Bravos aren't worth much any more!). Do something though - if your one and only blue key gets lost/stops working you really are in the doo!
 
This might help:

They can cut a red and 2 blue keys for a lot less than £1000!

I think you have to send away your ECU for a while though.
Never used the service, I've just seen the site
