I just walked into the local Mr mint (or such like) and they supplied the blanks and knocked a couple out in about 5 mins for less than a tenner (as I recall).

Just make sure they buff them well when they are finished as the new keys with sharp edges were a pig to start with in the old worn ignition. Another good buffing and they worked ok and just got better with time and use.

I picked up a spare at my local Honda dealer but now I can't find anyone to cut it. The local guy didn't want to dull his machine on some unknown alloy :|
