Hey crew,
Does anyone know if you can get replacement silver bullet keys and if they can be programmed or do I need to replace every lock to do so? I have the original red key but the silver one was stolen from my other vehicle last night :-(
Cheers try this link from Lucasz for replacement silver key

Shootsoon, Just get a locksmith to cut the new key and if you have the Red Key it is less than a 30 second job for you to reprogramme all the keys.
If you don't know how to do it, just send me a PM and I'll explain it for you.

The pics in the "how to" are gone so have uploaded them again here with the original comments. OK, I had a go with another spare key I had. First I tried holding the rear metal part in the vice and pulling on the long key part with pliers... no luck. Then tried locking mole grips onto the key part and it still wouldn't budge even with a lot of force. So a slight change of plan... locked the long key part in the vice and hit the rear metal part with a BIG hammer and after 2 good hits it separated them OK. A few pics to show how it locks together: as you can see the blue plastic bit goes around the long key part (3rd pic), so it's not possible to remove the plastic bit without breaking it unless the metal key part is removed first.

I wish to use it as a template. I want to produce new blank blades somehow.

Hi people, sorry to revive a thread from the dead but does anyone know if I bought a silver key from ebay that's off another coupe if I could get it reprogrammed and cut to match my coupe? The key chips can't be re-programmed but the chip can be removed and a new one inserted to replace it. Very unlikely the key part could be re-cut to fit another coupe and the blank parts are no longer available from Fiat, so unless you had one custom made or found some old stock somewhere the normal solution is to replace all the keys/locks/ecu set with a full working set from a donor coupe. There was a guy from Poland selling blank silver keys in "Parts for Sale" recently, so worth checking that out.

Hi Graham,
Unfortunately that's the easy part. Now you have to find a blade that fits as the old one cannot be re-cut.
If you want to sell your old one id be happy to buy it btw as I wish to use it as a template. I think I binned those spare ones I had but I'll have a look and if I find anything will send you it for free.

In the absence of blanks, you could perhaps get a new blue key cut (e.g. Timpsons), and take that apart to get the key blade to put into your silver key housing.
If the rear (possibly silver key specific?) portion is different, then you could probably get a friendly locksmith to use their cutting machine to cut the rear section from the new blue key to match the silver key (so long as that part of the new key blade is long enough, which I guess is an unknown...)

The blanks for the red and blue keys are different at the back (and shorter) than the silver key so not suitable for cutting a new silver key as it wouldn't be long enough to secure the rear clip on the blue plastic part. I can concur. 100%. Has to be from the silver key. If anyone has an old one then let’s work together to get some blanks made.

Cheers So do you have the old blade from the silver bullet to use as a template to make replacement blades that actually fit the silver bullet?
