On the subject of spare wheel or not I like the concept of no spare. I know it can cause problems in certain circumstance.
I guess I've been lucky. I've been driving since 1976, and average around 15,000 miles per year. In all that time (45 years and about 630,000 miles) I've never needed a spare. I guess I should buy a lottery ticket
Please buy me a lottery ticket and send it to ..................

That was my thought until I got a car with no spare
See my post a bit further back

I'd go for that lottery ticket before long

Think this is the cover you are asking about, this is in a D4, not a B4, but guess it's the same.
This is how it looked without it, with it, and the part label for it, hope it is some help.

Never had a flat tire except for one time heading to Run to the sun in Newquay one year when we got a flat on both tires on one side in old VW Polo. Spare didnβt help much then either

Sorry - late to this. Here is my equivalent label, which is different to BBβs so I thought I would post it. The cover is laid over the factory supplied spare wheel. I have the flexible load floor with grocery bag holder. Itβs a MY20 T5.

That's interesting, any chance of a picture of the cover? Sounds similar so i'd need to see what it looks like. Still, i've got 2 possible part numbers now.

Should have sent pics. Here are 3 which hopefully show how it fits in and itβs overall shape & size.

Many thanks, they both look like what i want. Yours has a slight wheel outline, the earlier version hasn't.
Also spotted my undefined 'foam disk' sitting under your spare wheel, confirming what it's meant for.
