In case you need a spare ignition key...

[Tifosi]

... and don't want to buy a whole switch to get it.

If you've gone to the local locksmith's to try and find a blank for the SIPEA ignition on an S3, you've likely already found out that they can't do much more for you than look at you like you've got two heads.

However, there is a solution:

Ask for a Cole blank that's stamped F45 on the front and has FT46 X152 and 'Fits FIAT' stamped on the back.


The probability is quite high that it's the blank you need. (unless you've got the opposite offset, in which case I claim no responsibility)

Toss a couple bucks at getting one ground and you'll have a nice new clean extra to put to use should the need arise.
