Hi all,
The disposition of the boot with the wide spare blocking the deepest section of the boot and the void behind it which at best can be used for jack, triangle and tool kit storage has never impressed me.
Neither the optional spare storage on top of the lid.
The trim in my P6 was mostly rubber mat fragments held in place with contact adhesive. Not a pretty sight!
My solution was to obtain a "mini" spare from a Chrysler Voyager. Full diametre but a 40 mm space gain in width and place at against the forward side of the boot. To get nice flat surfaces for the carpet, I covered the boot surfaces with panels made from 12 mm plywood (centre section) and 1,5 mm aluminium (side sections). Also the new battery and sill covers. The carpet is automotive grade with a robust backing
The space between the spare and the fuel tank is perfect for storing the jack etc with dedicated holders.
It is now a pleasure to open the boot!
Regards,
P-G
