Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - JDN - 20-01-2017 07:58pm Just had space saver put in boot. Can't help but feel it's missing some trim or surround as it seems a little slap dash... pics attached! Can anyone confirm if this is the norm'? Another... Last one... RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - Steve D - 20-01-2017 08:07pm Yours looks a bit small. What size is it? Just popped out and had a look. Here's mine. Ok, I've got a tow rope around it but still seems bigger than yours. Mines a 155 90 18. ![]() RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - JDN - 20-01-2017 08:18pm 155 85 18. Supposedly the correct size for a spare... it's the trim at the top that seems lacking. RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - Steve D - 20-01-2017 08:34pm Hmm. Mine was supplied by a dealer and looking at other threads, 155 90 18 gives a nearer rolling circumference to my 245 45 20 tyres than the 155 85 18. What size tyres are you running? I don't think you have anything missing from the trim - mine came all boxed up and I have the same gap at the top. RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - JDN - 20-01-2017 08:50pm I wanted 155 90 18 but they said they would not supply anything other than the Land Rover specified size. Researching it; it does seem that 155 85 18 is what they come with if you spec a space saver from new! RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - MrNoo - 20-01-2017 09:10pm Mine's a 155 85 18 and was factory supplied with the car when new. It also look very similar to your picture RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - JDN - 20-01-2017 09:31pm Thanks; yes the size I have is as if it was supplied from new. However 155 90 18 is a better size. Can I ask to confirm; does your foam surround / trim look like mine? The gap at the top seems a little tatty to my eye. Quite disappointing really! RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - syl - 20-01-2017 09:53pm Mine looks like yours, but with an aluminium bracket in the gap at the top left (which has a grey plastic box stuck on it and a lot of cables beside it). The tyre is 155/85R18 as well. RE: Just had space saver fitted........ missing trim? - JDN - 20-01-2017 10:03pm And what is that bracket for do you think?? Wow, thank you all for taking pics. Puts my mind at rest. That aluminium bracket is odd; not sure what that could be for!
