Avant spare wheel cover

[Greg71]

This has probably been asked a thousand times,  and if it has, I apologies. 

Is there something missing from my 2015 a6 avant spare wheel cover?

It appears to be shaped to hold something,  but I don't know what? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi steve, 

This is the one, I know the polystyrene luggage clip holder goes at the top, but it looks like something is missing from the moulded area underneath?

What you should have is the spare wheel or tyre weld, compressor, wheel jack, locking wheel nut and towing eye.

Hi steve,

Thanks for your reply,  I have a space saver spare wheel underneath this cover, along with jack, tool kit etc...

I suspect that the rectangular area is for storage of the optional-extra accessories that slide into the luggage area guide rails.

One could store damp clothing in there.

Yu might find that the area is blank on purpose as uk spec cars do vary from European ones. Is in Europe they have to carry breath test equipment, bulbs, hi vis jackets ect by law. Whereas we don't.
