Default Lost locking nut key - S1 RS Turbo

Hi.

Me being a tit, have lost my locking wheel nut key. I have a picture on my mobile if that helps form a solution. Any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated. It is a Series 1 RS Turbo. Diamond cut wheels.

most good tyre places can get them off, smack a socket ion it and crank it round with crossed fingers.

halfords do a kit that is for this problem (probably with the locking wheel nuts ) but you can use an impact socket that is a bit bigger & just whack it on
