Nope, parcel shelf is light flimsy moulded cardboard thing - nothing with it unfortunately.

Under floor foam spacer (forgot to get a picture) has moulded reliefs to suit towing eye and a warning triangle (as think the kit in the spare wheel can be displaced by an optional subwoofer) but not in the foam either side unfortunately.

Tie down points = pop rivetted to (hardboard with carpet encapsulation) boot floor - not a great idea!
This one is free range, another missing entirely

Having said that I honestly cannot remember the last time I used a wheel brace. If at home it will be the rattle gun and if on the road the AA man :-D
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Speaking of ad blue , last Tuesday I was filling up at my usual forecourt i watched a BMW driver pay run out with a can of ad blue then tipped the whole lot into same hole where his diesel went , he looked at me i looked at him he pulled a funny face back so I said , you got Break down cover in that , answer was no why , i said you better get some , what for , so I said do you know where that stuff should go what you just tipped into your fuel tank , oh yes the chap in the garage said it goes with the fuel ???

I was very pleased I'd payed on the pump so as soon as I hit the price I wanted I put my cap back on wished the BMW driver a good day and went.

So just in case this crashes and I'm on 5g network plus home WiFi when in , ive copied it all to reposted if it logs me out..
