Got an inexpensive spare wheel cover for the bonnet mounted spare on the LR 88. To stop it billowing up by air forced under it while driving I got the "technical department" i.e. the wife to put some vent holes in it.

OEM ones normally have one of those at the lowest point to let water out too.
 If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

A bit of cord and use the new holes to tie the cover down to the wheel Ray

Get a circular board approx 24" in diameter and bond it inside the cover.
