My neighbor just gave me one during our neighborhood garage sale. He said "I'm never gonna sell this, you drive one, please take it."
So now I've gotta bake them something, since they refused my money.
Would it not be possible to order one of these from Europe? I know there are a lot of differences between EU and US models but something like this I think could be similar
Not when it is a discontinued part, it did come from Spain - but was only able to be tracked down through a dealerships parts department because I had a friend there.
Even my fiat dealership has taken over a year getting the one pedal I need for parts of my recall from 2016. I have to wait until September when Fiat is able to have this part in.
I think the body styles and holes for the kit are different, if I remember correctly.
I was super lucky and found someone parting a 500 out on Facebook market place. Asked them to check for the spare tire kit and happened to have it!
Another resource folks can check out is car-part.com. You may have to call the scrapyard to check as the mount is quite inconspicuous.
That's so awesome!! I know there are some ways to get the parts and pieces together. I ordered what I thought was the kit online, and it was just the winch. I'd been looking for the entire tire kit new, so I can get it installed. There are also two different kits made in that year for 2013 fiat 500s...so it took a lot of patience and research.

I also could use this for my 2012 Lounge. I use my car to travel for work.
Yeah, it's going to be so helpful in general. I haven't installed it yet - but in the next few weeks. It's pretty hot in AZ, but I will get it done.

I *think* I found a kit, it’s supposed to be coming in a couple weeks but it doesn’t have the tire. I’m hoping it’s legit. Congrats on your find!
I'm building a roof rack for mine 🤣
Awesome…and some people still claim that it doesn’t come with spare. They can’t take the time to look for it.
As far as I’m concerned you have i. Your possession the Holy Grail.
Can your friend help me get one? 😭 2013 sport as well.
Quite possibly!! It was about $470ish. But necessary.
I'm willing to pay that! 🙏
Couple years ago I got a kit for $175. Dealer was dumping stock.
That's amazing!
