Spare wheel cover

Does anyone know where I can get a spare wheel cover from or will it cause problems if I just place the wheel next to the engine without one.

I need a bit of luggage room for a weekend away.

Remember being told these covers are v. expensive to buy new.
I bought a used spare+cover a couple months ago. I'd been chancing it with no spare and a can of 'inflate 'n seal' / 'hope n' pray' (for 1 year and 6000 mi of weekends away). Suspect there are a lot of GTAs without spares out there.

How's your French ?

ad dates from December but it might be still available - think "avec sa housse" means "with cover". If the cover is good 60 Euros could be a fair price for the cover alone. (but I'd check what the price new is first).

Could be worth a go if you can't get a cheap/used cover from the uk.

I think ive got one, ill have a look tommorrow..

i bought a fire blanket from b+q (£5.00) and had a new one made for nothing!

You do need the cover. The spare wheel that came with my car had a hole in the tyre due to heat damage. I got a new (second-hand) wheel and cover from peterg via this website. I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Thanks for the advice. Tony Law has come up with one for me, so has done me a right favour.

Cheers Tony, Nice Le Mans by the way.
