What I am looking for is a box to fit in my boot.

Ideally only a couple of inches high but fill most of the bottom (or at least as large as the opening).

That way I can have my sprays, cloths, warning triangle, torch etc neatly in the bottom of the boot and make it easy to remove it all from the car in one go.

I looked at the official boot tray but it is literally just a rubber/plastic floor - it does not look like it would be easy to remove the items contained in it.

Does anyone have any idea where I can et a box like this...preferably with a lid

Do you have the trays on top of the spare wheel, under the boot floor? I have my warning triangle, hi vis vest etc in those trays, there is lots of room. I tend not to carry arround bottles and sprays as they are heavy and take up room.

Do you have a full size spare or spacesaver?

Space saver. I know someone that has a full size and the boot floor is flush, mine is raised at the back

mine has a full size spare, and when you lift up the floor there are a number of trays there around each side of the wheel screwed to the body.

I just use a cardboard box from the supermarket.  The type which had bottles in as they are stronger.

To stop the box moving around I use a piece of curtain wire and sliped one end thro' the cargo hook on the floor and just pulled it diagonally across the box.

Cheap and cheerful  :lol: :lol:

Could use something likes this:

I was under the impression our member was looking for something more shallow like these (Which our local $2 shop has a lot cheaper than these prices)  :eek:

Dazzler, you're right, I am looking for something shallow.

Already googled but not found what I am looking for, I was hoping someone else might have seen one.

I forgot to post this link in my earlier comment but some of the boot tidys in Lorians link may be more suitable (here in Tasmania discount shops carry a lot of these quite cheap now)

Have you asked at your local auto accessory places???
