@ mikkijayne - thanks for the info - v useful. I'd wondered what to do about the lumpy boot carpet with a space-saver but your tip sounds great - extra boot space as well - do those Golf boot carpets fit without modification? @ daves16v - cheers! I'm very tempted but I'm in West Oxfordshire & never go anywhere near Nottingham so I think I need to see if I can find something a bit more local first! May well come back to you via PM if I can't find anything. I'd need to check out courier collection costs to see if it'd be worthwhile. How much would you want for the wheel?

Bent my front NS alloy in a pothole yesterday so need to get a new wheel. Luckily the spare was an original alloy so I'm thinking I'll just get a space saver or a cheap steel wheel to put in the boot. Assuming this is not a stupid idea what should I be looking for? Would a space saver be useable or do I need to look for a steel wheel? Are wheels from any other models compatible eg Golfs? Thanks for any advice! (& yes, I will be claiming from the council - 8ft-wide road, giant potholes on both sides, would have had to drive through the hedge & into the field to avoid them both...)
