Stelvio Storage

June 2024

The under-floor storage area (boot/trunk) in the Stelvio has some useful space but could do with a little organising. The dealer said that most owners stow stuff under there, but I wasn't too easy with the thought of unsecured stuff near the battery - some delicate-looking wires.

Phase Two

The rearward section. I just needed to store a foot pump in this area. A 'U' section of polystyrene was used as a divider, notched to accommodate cables and given a couple of coats of coloured epoxy resin.
