donut spare info and bag question

Read up on the topic here and elsewhere and seemed allot of folks put out a "maybe" to what other brands work or don't work on our cars.

Test by yours trully-2001 and 2002 15" Honda Civic spare donut fits like a charm on the rear wheels of a R56

Now the question-The NJ Baglady has disabled her sewing machine. So where are folks getting bags/totes to throw in the back of their cars these days?

Thanks RJ,

Spotted that as well



Looking for something more along the lines of a completely enclosed zippered bag to hold the donut spare.

Are the R56 and the R53 compatible for donut spares?

$35 from a salvage yard

$200+ for the MINI OEM one

Little bit of legwork but a no brainer
