Car came with the blow up kit, so would like to add in a real spare, space saver should be fine.

Online I can see a couple of variations, the std scissor type jack, and the newer 'side-arm'? type, some with molding to the side for the tools and some with a molding inside the wheel for the kit.

For a 2021 2WD with the removable seats, what should it look like?

Caffyns offer an official spare wheel kit here: https://seat-skoda.caffynsparts.co.uk/p ... -kit-copy/ for £250.

And the owners manual shows a scissor jack.

Thanks all, got the kit from Caffyns, came with a scissor jack, and foam to left of tyre to fit the gubbins into. Wow the spacesaver is heavy, I can see why you can get alloy space savers now.

I paid £70 for a VAG unused, unmarked spacesaver with ditto jack and tools (no foam block) from my local scrappy. So the foam block cost you £180!
I wrapped the tools in heavy duty bubblewrap and out them inside the upside down spacesaver
