Removing spare wheel and fitting delete panel
Has anyone removed their spare wheel and fitted the delete panels you can buy.

Just wondered what it looked like. I find the spare wheel a bit of a pain when opening the tailgate in car parks etc and it makes the tailgate pretty heavy

l guess that's pretty much what the Discovery 4 looks like at the back. lt's not too bad.

Watching.... I actually think it will look ok! I need to use a bike rack on my tow bar regularly and it would certainly help with that!

I’ve done it and it looks fine
I know it may not be to everyone’s taste but has many benefits for me.

1, I can fit my bike carrier on
2. I can see out of the rear window better
3. The tailgate is so much lighter to open and close
4. Vehicle isn’t as long / more space behind when backed into a space etc
5. Nobody can pinch the spare wheel!!!

My car is carpathian grey. I bought a black one and chips away painted it for £20 as nobody makes a grey
