I'll try and get some tomorrow if I get chance. The guys at Xplore are really helpful, they have photos of the carrier on its own and fitted. I'm really happy with it, changes the look of the van completely!

Do you find any issues with handling with the weight of the wheel being up high in one side?

Thanks

Came back to see it all collapsed. luckily the poles didn't scratch the sh!t out the paint. Made me think twice about it now!

loving the build! do the Touran rear carpets come far enough up under the rear seats? I think the caddy life carpets would be slightly longer

I would be worried about the spare being stolen off the back, but you make a good point about the weight being up high and pendulum effect it may have on tight bends at speed?
