PPD Tourer spare wheel well trim.

Tourist · 28th May 2017, 10:35

Hello chaps,

I'm sure that this has been covered before but a quick forum search didn't yield a definitive answer.

I've had a few bits off a 2002 R75 Tourer in a scrappy nearby for my 2004 Mk.2, and I noticed that it has a black trim panel under the hinged boot floor and a different polystyrene insert for keeping the jack and tools.

The earlier arrangement looks like a much better system than what I've currently got, as it enables a bit more storage.

I'm guessing that the lack of this is a Project Drive cost-saving measure on my later car, but before I nipped back to the scrappy and took it, I wondered if someone could confirm if I can use this with a full-sized spare wheel? The car in question had a space saver wheel but it was fitted to the car when I turned up.

Many thanks :-)

I'm sure I've seen them fitted with a full size spare wheel...

Hi yes a full size wheel fits I have this on my 2005 tourer and have 18 inch wheels

Many thanks, chaps - I'll nip over and snag it!

It will require a fair bit of trim removal to get out the two polystyrene side pieces
