Spare Tire Mount?

I have an 2011 cooper covert, base. Can someone show me a pic of mounting brackets or spare tire mounted underneath? Thank you!

There are none. Here's a source for the 'spare tire' I carry. The bag also caries a few detailing supplies for the road and an extra qt of oil along with an extra 3/4 litre of after the road lubricant.

I have one fitted to my R57. It is neat, all body fittings and hole in boot floor were prepared and waiting for the parts, took 30 minutes to fit. Bought mine from a scrap yard including wheel. If you Google 'mini cooper spare tyre carrier kit' and select images you will see plenty examples. Will NOT fit an S as the exhaust is in the way, perfect for base models.
