Good name chioce.

I have a strada which is just the truck version of your delica. I got an extra key cut at canadian tire. It was longer than the original but works great nonetheless.

I got a genuine blank from Mardy at Amazing Auto in Richmond BC.

We also got generic spares cut (where do those keys get to, worse than socks in a laundromat) at walmart & Canadian Tire (Home Depot also cuts, but that guy was just too weird). Generic made by Axxess has a model # 50 stamped on it. Blank is half inch longer but works OK. If using walmarts etc give yourself extra time to wait ... wait for a clerk in sporting goods who can cut keys, make sure you get them to deburr the newly cut edges, wait to pay, then walk out to your vehicle to test key on all doors & ignition, then walk back in to get them to finer deburr the newly cut edges.

By the way, from my testing of friends Delicii, none of us have similar keys (whereas my honda civic key fitted every civic).

Canadian Tire has key blanks that work, they're slightly longer than the stock one, but that's not a problem.
Just don't tell them it's for a Delica! just say it's a mitsubishi.
