Hi, I'm new to the forum and the car, I'm not actually picking it up until next week.

I really want a spare wheel option as well as the gunk/compressor .
I was wondering about the space available under the boot floor?
Should I go for a space saver spare such as..

Or, there are several OEM 18" alloys and tyres on ebay for a similar (or less) price but I'm guessing there won't be room under the boot floor for one ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You won't have the room for an 18'' alloy rim under the boot (assuming the space under the boot floor is the same between MY19 & MY21).

I found a pic with the spare wheel :

I have the official spare wheel option and no, a conventional wheel definitely won't fit.

Thanks for that, Shadow and Matt. It'll have to be a space saver then.

I've just found the official option price is £379 plus the tyre! I think I'll go with the £175 one in the link.
I'll need a polystyrene boot well insert to hold the wheel in. Can these be bought separately or only as part of the
official wheel option kit?

Cheers.

Does anyone know if you can take the polystyrene compartment out all together? (Without damaging it, just for extra storage underneath the lid)?

Update 6/6: I checked it today, but some parts removal is necessary it seems. Maybe not too difficult, but also not sure if it's worth it in the end...?

@siepel: the volume for extra storage looks like this if U remove the polystyrene compartment - but an horizontal (e.g., wooden) piece needs to be put in the middle of this volume (I still need to do it &#8230 in order to support the 'flap'.

@siepel: and this is how it looks like after the installation of the piece supporting the 'flap'
