Filling the spare wheel well with something?!

[hon_n_gem]

Hi guys n girls,

Just been making a square box to fit in the spare wheel well!

The box fits in but, theres gaps in the side! just wondering what would be best to fill in the gaps?! some sort of foam? want it to sit pretty firmly without movement?!

Cant wait till the install is finished!

Why not line the wheel well with some polythene, then fill the gaps with expanding foam filler ?

Lining the well with polythene *should* mean it will come out again. Might be worth checking the foam doesn't attack the polythene first though....

...you could also buy big blocks of Foam / (white) Polystyrene.

Then just use a craft knife to cut it into the right curved shape, and probably then slot Two pieces on each side of your "Box" in the wheel well, for a snug tight fit.

You can buy this sort of stuff at B&Q, Markets etc.

yeah i was thinking expandable foam....but im a very messy worker and will get it everywhere!

ill prob end up doing the second option or something very simular!

any ideas on making a subwoofer grill!?

you could fibreglass a grille?

or, i think this would be ace but no-one else might agree lol, but another centre front grille with the S badge on and modify that to fit!
