Funnily enough the recessed boot carpets are approx £24 (Ph1) & £29 (Ph2) +vat, both are identical apart from being different shades of grey.

Haven't updated this thread in a while.
I have sourced another matching alloy and standard tyre (205/55/16) which fits into the bootwell and locks in place with the existing threaded nut. As I only plan on carrying the spare wheel on occasion I couldn't really justify the expense of the "flat" carpet, so have picked up a secondhand ph1 carpet (different colour grey) and have modified it so that it is flat. On another forum there has been some posting on this subject along with using the Laguna2 jack carrier for stowage of the jack & tools, imho it doesn't fit very well (I have a Lag2) so I'm still looking at other possible options.
