Default Battery cover

I recently purchased a 2017 convertable AWD jaguar f type S. It was missing the cover for battery and spare tire so I'm looking at the battery and spare tire when I pop the trunk. For the life of me I can't figure out a part number or where to buy a replacement. Any help would be appreciated!

A US car would NOT have come with a spare. That was a UK thing.
Just a kit with a pump and a bottle of tire 'goop', housed under the trunk floor paneling, next to the battery.

If there IS an extra wheel in there, perhaps the previous owner removed the trunk (boot) liners in order to allow a spare to fit?

++++++++++

Provide a picture of yours, but if the original panels/floor are missing, a wrecked F might be the place to obtain them.

Pretty sure the spare was an option. But not positive.

I've not seen a UK F-Type with a spare. And definitely not a convertible!

Hard to see how you possible fit a spare in the vert trunk (boot), or anywhere else for that matter.

It'a a skinny spare, AIUI, and it pretty much fills the trunk.

It's a bit of a joke. Clarkson did a whole bit on it. Here's a pic from the web:

Yes, a 'min-spare'. AKA Donut spare.

I guess the punctured full-size spare needs to be CARRIED by the passenger, after the donut is fitted!?!?

Of course not - the passenger can fit in the trunk!

I had a puncture in a front wheel of my previous XKR coupe and found it just fitted in the trunk (I had to be a bit clever with the floor cover to get it to fit!) - a rear wheel would have to be a passenger.

As a reminder - Clarkson's Top Gear review. Still on YouTube. 'Vert with spare, and obviously in the UK. Cheers!
