Hi Paul, good to hear it's worked well for you. Did you replace the boot floor carpet, side trims and black plastic boot lip part for the raised equivalents?
If so, are the luggage hooks accessible now and do the foam inserts secure in place better than they would have with the original trim pieces?
Is the different floor carpet reinforced all the way out to the edges? Unlike my original floor carpet below.
I've also wanted to investigate how to secure the wheel in place. Might have to place the wheel face down to be able to use the plastic securing bolt thing. Might just tie it down with something.
Good to hear it's worked well for you.
Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron. I just had the boot lip and carpet (not the side trims - not really needed) and of course the actual poly inserts. Everything fits perfectly and boot floor is SOLID !. Turn the wheel upside down with the centre cap out and hold in place with the plastic screw holder. "Centre" the screw and hold in place somehow before you put the wheel in because it falls to one side and could scratch your wheel. If you want them I will send the parts nos of the bits that I had. Just let me know.
Thanks again.
Kindest regards,
Paul.

Hallo Ron again. I forgot to say that the side hooks are not accessible, but as far as I am concerned that is no great loss. I used the spaces on either side of the wheel to store the jack etc, packed with the 1 inch x 1/2 inch polystyrene parcel packaging. (large snow !!) Just be careful with all your bits and pieces - lock nut key,wire nut cover puller , centre cap etc . Polythene bag for them. I'm beginning to sound like your mother aren't I ? !! I think I'm old enough !!
Anyway, take care....son.... !
Paul.

Thanks for the replies Paul, the part numbers for the carpet and boot lip would be great. Think I will eventually add them as well.
Cheers
Ron.
