So now that I almost have my R track prepped pending the arrival/installation of my fire extinguisher and the 100 other items that I have already attended to, I am turning my attention to things that bother me.
Number one on the list is the spare tire carrier that my car was ordered with by mistake. I don't have a spare, and on a Superlight R will never bother with one anyway as I trailer to the track and don't plan on any highway cruises.
So, any suggestions on how to delete it without lowering the value of the car or replacing the rear panel? I was thinking that it may be possible to put the l-plate light where the hole for the spare tire fixing bolt is. Mounting the plate to the back panel looks like a snap, I'm just thinking that I will drill 4 holes and use nut inserts for mounting.
The tough thing as I see it is coming up with a good solution for cutting the carrier of without screwing anything up and plugging the holes in a way that looks good.
Suggestions anyone (even if it is leave the thing alone)?
