The title makes it sound as though I've just developed a "midriff bulge" as they called it in the 60s.
I did think it was quite expensive for a spare wheel but actually it's not a bad piece of kit. I didn't realise the wheels were so big! they don't look that big on the car - the 17 inch wheels must be gi-normous.
The raised boot floor seems solid enough as does the jack. The wheel brace is nothing to shout about but should be adequate for the job.
If anyone is considering buying the spare wheel kit from Caffyn's through ebay; their listing only mentions the wheel, the tool kit, the wheel screw fixing and the raised boot floor but you do also get the three wheel surround storage boxes.
It's just a matter now of waiting for a bit of daylight so I can fit it to the car. It all looks very ornamental stacked in a corner of the living room
