SPARE (Not that one)
OK... So overdue for a post... Still have some final details...
Like what kind of spare to have... A full size tire on a 9x15 or even 6x15 won't fit in the front due to the R6 - RSR style sheetmetal ducting for the front oil cooler... So I will probably just carry a single 9x15 and 11x15 with tires mounted in the back whenever I go somewhere... thinking about a nice way to do that... Welcome any ideas - preferably with photos!
In the meantime, we found a Vredstein collapsable spare from a later model car (Mercedes C class or SLK I think), and found a shop that would mount it on a Braid 6x15 for the front... mainly for the look, not as a spare (not sure I would trust it at anything more than 20-30 KMH for a very short distance)...
Here are a couple of photos...
