Default cheap solution

hi guys,

after reading some of the threads on here I decided to get a spare for my V60 (2013 R-design) as I don't like having to rely on the puncture repair kit. I wanted to try and find a cheap solution so I looked on here
http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volvo...0%20-%20).html
for compatible wheels and bought a 2nd hand wheel "FORD FOCUS 16 Inch Spare Wheel & Tyre Space Saver & Jack Kit 125/85/16" off ebay for £30. It fits under the boot floor nicely without sliding around however I wanted to be able to use the rest of the space in there without having to worry about the exposed cables so I cut a hole in the existing surround so I could reuse it which was pretty easy. I now have a spare wheel + jack and plenty of space for other stuff under there including the puncture repair kit too if needed and the boot still closes flat without any problem. I've also fitted it to the car and it drives fine, not a bad solution for £30 see pics below.
