lug wrench on 2005 MCS?

Just bought a 2005 MCS, and have a nice little bag with the jack in the boot, and have also located the small tool pack (pass side) and slime/compressor kit (driver side) in the little side boot compartments.

However, although I have a jack, I can't find a lug wrench hidden anywhere. Before I go searching for one to put in the car, is it just in some super-clever hidden place I haven't looked yet?

Thanks for any hints.

It should be packed in with the jack. I just used it yesterday. I think those generic lug wrenches are pretty cheap to replace though.

Thanks. Just wanted a sanity check to make sure I wasn't missing something. These cars have such great little surprises hidden all about...

If anyone has a spare lug wrench they'd like to part with, please PM me. I could just pick up a generic, but would be nice to have one that's made to fit with the jack in the bag.

Thanks!

Double check the bag. There is a sort of sleeve in the jack bag into which the lug wrench slips.

Doh. I feel pretty stupid now, but I do indeed have the wrench. Not sure how I didn't notice the extra weight in the bag, but it was just tucked right up in the pocket of the bag as it should be.

Thanks for the reminder of the obvious, much appreciated!
