i went and got the sill scuff plates end of last yr for mine, but will fix them on when the weather warms up so they stick better.
i also got a twin usb ports to go onto back of centre console, well worth £30 for 2 extra charge points easy to install to 25mins

If you still have time this is what we had on our 2014 QQ Tekna (data is from 2015) :

hi dave nice collection of mod you have done to your cars over the years, only had my QQ for 4 months now have done led light upgrades in boot and inside, but the only upgrade i`m struggling to sort out are the rear driver/passenger inside lights what to change them to led but they have odd shape end caps what normal festoon bulbs don`t have. did you ever change yours to led. pic below of what the current bulb is fitted.

I tried searching but the search ignores the word "wheel" because it's too common?!

Correct ! But If you just enter “Spare Wheel” you will find all posts related to “Spare Wheels” with different Post Titles then you just have to “Scroll “ Down and read the Posts - Dave

I also have a 2018 N-Connecta it's a 1.5 dci , first thing you need is a Space-saver spare wheel. JMO-of-course. That was my first priority.

Do I need a new holder to hold the wheel instead of what's in there now? What size is your space saver?

My QQ has 18, inch wheels, I purchased a 17, inch Space Saver that came off a Renault Kadjar, fits on QQ perfectly and in wheel well and yes you need a different foam surround to make the lower carpet cover level.

Andy, I have taken a look at what I have. The original Bulbs were 12V8W x 31mm long Festoons, I tried to get Osrams at the time but could not so the exchange LED’s were 3SMD-5050-31mm White, now the dim’n is more like 32,8mm so a little tab adjustment is required, but the illumination is great - Dave

Just to give you an idea of what is what : Std / LED

thanks for the info dave i`ve got all sizes of the festoon led bulbs, i was tempted to try and flatten the end bits on an led to see if they would fit like the original bulbs, but as i had only had the car a week when i started to change the bulbs, i didn`t want to damage the interior light fittings, may have another go over the weekend if the weather stays dry for more than 1hour

and make a few adjustments.

yep it`s solid, you get a template to show you where to drill a few holes and hacksaw blade to cut thru the thin plastic trim
