    Elite Nav to SRI Nav to no leather seats or fancy dash board, keyless entry, handsfree power tailgate etc among other things!

    Still the 1.5 Turbo Petrol, and only 8 miles on the clock!

    Plus one here.... I've got a space saver for the Vec but that isn't going to help!!

    Just not happy with inflating and gooing a flat tyre!
    Loving the heated seats that come on automatically in the morning to take the chill off the leather!

    Heads up display is peeing off the BMW drivers in the office, 50 mpg commuting is peeing off everyone else!!

    Ibought a 17 inch full size steel wheel from ebay 5x115 as its different from the insignia A
    Now I knew I would have to raise the boot floor but the damm wheel wont fisically fit in the wheel well.Looks like the well was only designed for a space saver smaller than 17 inch

    Yes, we only offer it with a space saver from the factory Andy, so I suspect you are correct - possibly to reconfigure the (now smaller) fuel tank (70 litres down to 60 I think) and Ad Blue tank bigger (7 litres up to 15 litres) they don't leave a big enough wheel well for a full size - also part of the weight saving I guess so you can't physically fit the heavier wheel in where you would want to!
