MG5 Trophy spacesaver

[szymon]

Has anyone looked at fitting a spare wheel (probably a space saver) to the MG5 Trophy (facelift)? It looks like there would be space under the boot floor if the polystyrene were removed from the well. I‘d be far more comfortable with a spare in the car…

Exactly the same boot as the mk1 mg5, with the better long range height adjustable floor.

You can purchase an official mg5 spacesaver spare wheel kit or pick up a compatible one. Some purchased a full size alloy and set the adjustable floor to the higher setting and must needed a longer bolt to secure it with. There are several posts with links to what has been purchased.

Fwiw, the trophy has limited differences to the mk1 Long range model and most answers available on the mg5 forum still apply. Infact it's still very similar to the Roewe Ei5 saloon it was based on

I swopped my spacesaver over when I upgraded to the new facelift MG5.

I meant to put this post here, but put it on the other thread by mistake! Will link to it rather than copy.

MG5 Spare wheel kit

Have you been looking for a full size spare for you MG5 LR? If you put the boot floor on the upper level then a full size should fit ok. Yeh I believe it does. Les
