Hi guys
I collected my 1.5 Acenta yesterday.
So far I'm very pleased with it.
One thing I would like to install is a space saver wheel, which I already have, but i am on the look out for the two piece foam surrounds.
Glyn Hopkin sell them but I could hardly believe my eyes when I totted up the price, £56+!!
Is there anywhere else to buy them cheaper?
Cheers
Paul

Paul, it looks like you think the price is too high @ £21.11 a piece inc VAT + I assume delivery. When most of us I believe were looking for this part in 2014 before a Complete Nissan Set appeared I think Glyn Hopkins was the only way out. I had both parts @ £15.67 + VAT + Shipping delivered to Germany for a total price of £61.23 in 05.14. which I thought was reasonable for something that was needed and they definitely done the job - Dave

Hi Dave
I won't mind paying it if it's the cheapest price.
What is surprising is that two pieces of foam are so expensive!
I think I shall have no choice but to bite the bullet and order them.
Incidentally, does the wheel etc sit flush in the lower boot well like the existing foam or does it make the felt lined board sit higher?

Paul, either use the "Search" Facility there is a lot on this subject or take a look at some photos here these should clear your question - Dave

Thanks Dave
The link was really helpful.
Would you say the amount of space lost is minimal?
Having only had the car for a day I'm not very acquainted with the amount of space already available under the flexi boards.

Paul, for me the space lost is minimal but there again the days of the Kids have gone by. If you look at the last pic on the above attachment that is what it looks like. Above is the "Flexible Floor" on which we have 3 Fold Down Shopping Bags + Freezer Bag + Rubber Cover which we use to cover the rear area for rubbish, garden stuff and to protect the Rear Valance when loading. So to sum up for us the Space is adequate for others perhaps not - Dave
PS do not forget, do not throw the Pump away it is OK when you need if ever to top the air in your tyres up - Sorry more space lost

Thanks Dave.
I've ordered the foam pieces from Glyn Hopkin.
I won't be throwing any of the original kit out !
I will also need a scissor jack. The genuine Nissan one is REALLY expensive for what it is.
Has anyone else bought a standard scissor jack, and do they fit in the foam moulding?
Cheers

Paul, have you seen the post from Jonceebee "Goodbye to my QQ......." as he is selling all his Spare Wheel Kit of Parts and he might be interested in splitting finally. Regarding the Jack try your Dealer / Scrap Yard because our Dealer gave us a brand new one from a Scrap Nissan FOC - Dave

I kept all the original stuff and put it back in when I sold the QQ. There are parts for sale in the other forumPaul L wrote:Thanks Dave.
