    Does the MINI not have a spare wheel well at all?

    My car has a spare wheel but higher spec models do not (makes sense.......?!?) but a spare wheel can be bought from the parts desk and put into the wheel well :)

    lol

    It's not a perfect solution by any means but having a wheel is better than not having one as it'll come through under some circumstances.

    I did say keep it in the shed :P

    No -- but it is possible to retrofit one apparently.

    Mate, I don't think you would need an ounce, unless you are buying stocks to last a few months, lol.

    dont take it personally! bit of humor. i think its a crap idea that all the money you now spend on a car and a spare wheel is "an optional extra":eek:. but it does come with a can of tyre weld in your £50,000 car sir:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I certainly agree with that - why Kia exclude it from all Picanto models apart from the base model is beyond me.
