Lost Keys - Help!

Ok... left car at specialists while i was away for the week, told them would pick car up today if they left it in the yard and locked the keys in the boot. Great idea, except half way home from our break realised I couldn't find the spare set of keys, which I thought were either in my pocket or in the wife's handbag. So now the car is stuck there, and I've turned the place upside down looking for the keys but to no avail! [:mad:] I certainly had them a week ago... [:(]
Now questions...
How hard is a 1986 924S to get in to? Any tricks? I have RAC membership, but not keen after seeing how they got into my 911 when I locked the keys in it, involved rubber wedges... the car is at a specialists.
Will I be able to get a key cut using my spare? Where is the best place? Will I need to give someone a code from the key?
The immobiliser is an original Hamilton & Palmer OPC one. I did hear they were going to stop making the key tags, but they have been very helpful in the past so fingers crossed. [&:]

Easy. Easiest will be to remove the trim from the rear quarter and to cut the rubber away using a sharp knife and great care. The replacement will cost next to nothing and if you cant find a trader who will be sensible then I have one youre welcome to for the cost of postage.

I believe an OPC should be able to supply you the correct key from their records and your registration documents.
 
Good news. Car was easier to get into than expected, and the following day the keys were found by the specialist where they had fallen from my pocket.
Cheers for the help everyone... [:D]
