Sparesafe ugly?

Pimp your spare safe

I think it would look better turned 180o.

I would be more worried in it being ripped off on a road side drop off.

Stopped off at the Cafe at Lac du Mont Cenis, didn't notice the step crunch! the rear skid (tow bar) touched down which is why I keep the detachable tow bar on, light socket bracket bent again.

Things happen wandering around the back roads of Europe, our T4 Cali when fully loaded at 2,800 kg ride height is just under 2m height clearance, I wonder how those lowered driveway/campsite queens would fare with a bit of hard use...

Pimp your spare safe

So we’ve just got back from a week away with the van, and thanks to the replies in this thread I got the Spare Safe before we left.

It is way smaller in reality than the photos in the club shop led me to think! So small that it’s definitely not an issue having it bright red.. I’m not going to bother with a re spray after all.. seems laughable I even considered it

But seeing Perfectos’ picture, I think I’ll find some interesting tiny content to sticker on there - will post my competition entry here soon

 

[Perfectos]

bit of fun, show us your Funky, rusty, painted, modified, ugly spare safes ?

I see the red blob as lipstick on my van (albeit at the wrong end). Gives it some character.

It’s a Baboon then

Sprayed with flat black paint and it is invisible unless you know that it is there.

I'm put off by the high cost of shipping to Switzerland (about the same as the kit itself) otherwise it looks like a good idea.

You can find it in Amazon. Shipping still not cheap, but it doesn't double the price at least

All the paint fell off mine too. They obviously don't ue primer. Mines also now black.

 

[Kayleigh]

Absolutely nothing wrong with the red one

Apart from the paint will fall off

[Maidment_Ocean]

Now that's style. Red lipstick put the right way!

I really don't think anyone is interested in this:


And this picture is from 2019. The wheel looks way more ugly today.
It's waiting to self-deflate because of all the rust.
Perhaps someone in great need for a spare wheel, but not for the high value.
Oh, the tyre itself is from 2009. Good luck for the one that wants to steel steal my wheel.

I would be more worried about that spring top left looks broken or damaged but could be the picture lol

I reckon you’ve got at least another 50 years before the rust is a problem on that rim. If I was nicking a spare I wouldn’t be looking at the date code just whether there’s any tread on it.

Hi all, can anyone tell me where to put my spare safe on please when I have the tow bar ready on? I’m a bit confused where to put the lock. Many thanks

The sparesafe has nothing to do with the towbar. The sparesafe is the replacement for the primay nut that goes on the spare wheel. The spare wheel has two nuts, a primary one to the right, which you remove and a secondary one (the left one) which you do not have to remove, instead you unhook the wheel caddy from the secondary nut. Remove the primary nut and replace with the sparesafe.
