Yep thats the same as the UK
He'll sell you 4 blanks for £120 if youd like them (uncut and uncoded)

He can cut them all to a photo for £20 for you

Sounds like a done deal Neil!

I'll forward some funds to MJ so she can pay on the day if that suits everyone? Or I can pay Craig direct if he has PayPal?

How would you like to handle the photos?
Shall I PM you and you can forward them on?

So, for a D3, the only option is the standard key, right?

I may not be able to make the meet but could someone pass on my details so I could get a visit when he is around my area?

Hi Tony - for sure PM me your Car Reg/Model name, postcode for visit, telephone and email and I'll get craig to contact you with a date he's next in the area and he can get your keys ahead of the visit

Thought I would add some feedback here on the keys.

I'm very happy with my new keys and a great price and service from Craig. I went with the Bentley style ones and they feel and look very good and have a nice weight to them. I did find the plastic casing is a little "soft" and can mark easily after I dropped one whilst still at the Carding Shed, so about an hour after Craig left!

The drop left a scratch (which would be expected) but it also dislodged the internal circuit board so that the unlock button no longer worked. The rear cover pulls off but in doing so I managed to damage it a little more as it's quite thin at the end where the join is to prize open, using a plastic tool would help prevent this but I didn't have much to hand. I was then easily able to relocate the circuit board and it all works fine again.

It's great having the memory seats working for each key too

Glad you got it fixed Pete!

If the innards are working, you could perhaps try contacting Craig to see if he can send you a new enclosure.

I agree they are very nice, weighty keys. Had mine a few years now. Still look like new and all four are working again now thanks to a quick reprogram of my 'key #2' by Craig
