Which 500 you have

  • 500 / 500C (2008 on) — the hatch and the fabric-roof cabrio. Fifteen years of production, several wheel designs, and the locking pattern is not the same across all of them.
  • Abarth 500 / 595 / 695 — different wheels again, usually 17", and almost always on locking nuts because the alloys are worth stealing.
  • 500L (2012–2022) — bigger car, bigger wheels, different range of numbers.
  • 500X (2015 on) — the crossover. Shares more with the Jeep Renegade than with the little 500.
  • 500e (2021 on) — the electric one, current range.

The 500's specific problem: the wheel trim

On a lot of 500s the locking nut sits behind a plastic cap or under a full trim, and people have never seen it. That is genuinely the most common message we get about this car — "I can't find the locking nut." Look for the one nut out of four or five that has a cap on it, or a shallow plastic cover flush with the face. Prise it off gently with a flat blade wrapped in a cloth. Underneath is the pattern we need to see.

If the cap is missing and the nut has been sat exposed to salt, wipe it with a rag and a bit of brake cleaner before photographing. Corrosion in the recess is what makes a photo unreadable, not the camera.

Fiat shares its patterns

Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth and the later Jeep models draw from an overlapping range of locking patterns. That is good news — we see these keys constantly — but it means a chart telling you "all Fiat 500s use key X" is wrong. Your year and trim matter, and so does whether the wheels are the originals.

How the matching works

  1. Photograph the locking nut — cap off, wiped clean, straight on, daylight, no flash.
  2. Send it with your year and trim. We confirm the exact key before you pay.
  3. Free UK delivery, Royal Mail Tracked 24, out within one working day.

Cost

Identification is free. The Fiat matching service comes with free UK delivery. Compare that to £40–£60 to have one nut drilled or twisted off at a garage, and £55–£85 for all four.

Our keys are cut from hardened steel to the original pattern — how our keys are made.
