Storage package retrofit

Would you mind sharing some specifics of your storage package retrofit? I "compromised" by getting a 15 f56 off the lot and after a week the trunk is making me crazy. I am specifically looking for part numbers or a list. Also, where you ordered the parts? Really anything you'd be willing to share would be helpful.

Thanks.

One important part not shown is that item #7 - the catches to hold the load floor in the upright position mounts onto a different version of the seat back latches that come with the storage package. They are shown in the picture of the rear seats in the OPC. These are the latches that allow two positions for the rear seat backs - the normal one and a more vertical one. You could get away without these but you would have to fabricate a metal bracket to hold #7 in place - or you could just try gluing #7 to #11 but I suspect it would be a little flimsy like this

Nice thread and it morphed from a luggage compartment mat to a retro fit fold flat floor thread!
Any way I too have a car without the storage option and I would like to place the 51477298611 piece on top on the well area to make it flat.

But my question is will this fit the F55 4 door body style? I believe it is the same dimensions of the F56 in the rear cargo area. Can anyone confirm the fit?
Thanks

The F55 cargo area is a few inches longer. They are not the same size. However, the equivalent F55 part is 51477303584.

Trunk floor panel

The trunk floor panel can be purchased separately if you do not have the factory installed compartment option S493A. It just does not give you the option of the hinge.

This is what it looks like without the S493A:



This is the installed floor panel. It costs $140 from MiniMania.com.



There are no hinges.




If you get the boot mat, it gives it a clean look.

The mat is great for transporting gardening material, bags of dirt, flats of plants, etc, without worrying about moisture and dirt spillage. I have the Gen2 Version in my '08 Clubman. Very handy.

Nine years later, lol.

I just got a 22 Cooper S 2-door with the flat floor option.
I was thinking of getting the tray, part # 51472353821.
Will that fit if the luggage floor is in the lower position?
Thanks, if anyone's still listening, lol.
