Hi, just wondering if there was a spare wheel/space saver option on the latest style Cooper convertible. If not is there a wheel well to store one in the boot, or suitable space under the boot like I believe the previous model had ??
Have been googling and tried the search on here, but can't seem to find the answer.

Cheers.

We have a 67 plate convertible we bought new.
I stupidly did not tick the spare wheel option & was later told that the shape of the boot floor is slightly different depending upon whether the option was chosen or not. So can’t be retro optioned, if that’s a thing.
So some 2017 models have it from new.
Bear in mind there was an 2018 refresh so may be different after then.

Looks like such a thing exists, at least for an F56 Cooper hatchback so I can't see why the F57 convertible should be any different underneath. See https://www.minif56.com/threads/how-to-fit-the-spa...

Realoem lists the bracket as only suitable on convertibles up to June 2019 though.

Thanks guys for the information, looks like it may be possible to retrofit which would be good.
Will need to try and get a look at one to be sure at some point I think.
