DaveBerlin which version of car did you order? The UK one? It seems that there is difference between UK (RHD) and EU models (LHD).When I was at our local dealer (central Europe), all models that I seen had the spare wheel (space saver one).I assume that UK model has only the repair kit, or am I wrong? This may vary from country to country of course.

th0mps0n, I ordered the QQ Tekna German Version LHD. I can assure you that there was no Space Saver Wheel installed when we disassembled one last week. There was just a Styropor Tray with the Gung , Compressor etc in.

I see. I can only speak about our regional dealers. In Czech Republic and Slovakia, they use to come with space saver wheel kit already.

I ordered mine with the car in February. The salesman ordered ten sets, the wheel and bits came quick, but when I called in on monday 26th May to see if they were in, guess what, still waiting for delivery . Dont mind while I am driving local, but I'll want them when I go on my hols.

DaveBerlin, cool, thank you. Dealer must by smiling everytime you show up at his door. How many times you've been there already? :)This reminds me that I have to bug my dealer with price negotiation on accessories. I have ordered only the car, nothing else. I still havn't decided what to put on. Thinking about side illuminated styling bars, but those are quite expensive, but I am very tempted. :) At least I do not have to worry about the space saver, as the car comes with it by default in our country. On the other hand, it comes without alarm. :-(
