The mazda2 we recently bought has no spare wheel, and we'd like one. As I knew I'd be passing the largest car recycling yard in the Northwest (Hills Motors of Skem), I thought I'd phone on the off chance.

What's your reg ? 

It's a mazda2. Have you got any mazda2s ? 

We need to know the reg. 

FFS. 

Give them the reg. 

That car doesn't have a spare sir.

No. That's why I want one.

We'll ask the yard to look and get back to you.

 

24 hours later I get a text to tell me they don't have one in stock. 23 hours after I went past on the M58 

Possible a focus space saver may do the job ......I repeat ......possible

Zagreb. I took these in 2018. It doesn't look like it's moved but it still looks clean and shiny. 

 

Also saw this one on the same trip.

Well the thread size is the same. 

[New POD]

I have some mx5 alloys and space saver that will fit the hub, but not really that close on diameter.

Lee at viking vinyls does some lovely custom made stuff if a little pricey. Or get busy with the bread knife and an old sofa, hairdryer and staple gun.

That looks great, even the headlight 'lashes' aren't offensive like on a 50's Brit box.
