I just realised that I completely forgot to order a full size spare when I bought my car. Not sure how much it would have been with the 19"s on there but I bet not cheap. I wonder if a dealer would be willing to swap the spare I have (which I dont think I've ever looked at, never mind used) for a full size one for the option price rather than the cost of a whole wheel and tyre..  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Easier to get a set of four spacesavers to match your spare me thinks


Why bother its only the spare? or do you intend to kerb an alloy? At work

i doubt they would

Though when my old vectra had a blow out in france and I found the spare was a space saver, I got the dealer to change the space saver to a full sized alloy (like they told me it had) for £75.00  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I just dont relish being restricted to 50kph or whatever it is. I was going up to Scotland in my last car and got a flat with about 250 miles to go in the middle of the night a while back.. 250 miles at 30 mph is s t!! 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

tell me about it 180miles out of calais and then dover to leeds on a space saver is

If we are ever in the position where a customer wants to buy a stock vehicle (that has a full size spare) but doesn't want to pay the extra for it then I will certainly drop you a PM.

I got lucky .... I didn't order the full size spare (or pay for it), but there it was when I looked
