Yes that type. I have seen professionals attempt one had have difficulty so much so, that they gave up whilst i was spraying a car. The metal is very tough and only certain hardened tool can dig in and the shape cannot be easily copied without the key code.

Well can I suggest Honda again?? Only reason is that the OEM locking nuts are made by McGuard. And there is a type that is the same as that pic (locking key with fat collar). It might just match a master key they should have. Its a long shot but worth a try I suppose.

Roughly in order:

- Replace that broken piece of plastic which holds the bonnet support pole (watch this space for suggested upgraded part).
- Clean out inappropriate copper grease from brake caliper slide pins and correctly apply silicone grease (yes, my bad).
- Get a piece of metal fabricated which the boot lid torsion bar clip slots into because the area under my rear parcel shelf is damaged.
- Fabricate a cooling plate out of black corrugated plastic.
- Respray the paint damaged rear skirt.
- New magnetic sump plug.

I need to do this as well.

The clip that holds the torsion bars has bent the parcel shelf bit.. I had tried to cable tie them all together but cable ties even made it worse.

This seems to be a 5th gen problem?
Strange!
