Boot carpet
« on: 25 September 2011, 16:41 »
Hi, I just bought my valver and it had no spare!! I looked in the boot and thought 'that's a big hole, best get me a full size wheel'. Well I did, and fook me it's too big. My question is, did VAG do a Mk3 carpet with a hump, like they did for Corrado and Mk2?

Many thanks!

If yes, anyone near Bath got a spare?

I don't think you get them mate as most of the mk3's came with a narrower spacesaver wheel exept the earlier models which had thin wheels as standard and fitted in the spare wheel well without the need for a hump in the carpet. I may be wrong though so someone may come along and correct me.

My 05 1.4cl had a normal wheel with a hump in the carpet. Was very handy for stopping shopping etc moving around in the boot!
Current 16v anniversary has a space saver though :sad:

Is there ment to be a bit of wood or something on top of the spare under the carpet as mine just has carpet on top of wheel and it makes the boot floor dip in the middle which makeup sub box move around in the boot.
Is that how they came?
