Spare tire removed! Need help...

I've searched and I haven't found any great options to plug the holes in the rear door once the spare tire is removed. The hole is 25mm, just curious if anyone else has done this and found something that fits properly and looks ok? It's a 2014 G63, just want to have the option to motor around town with no spare and then install it for road trips.

It's not my G, but a friend of mine. I'm sure somebody would produce something but there's not enough demand. We also did some Forgiato wheels on it and all terrain tires. Looks sick in person!!!

I didn't get a full pic of the truck. It was pretty dirty. Hope that helps, they could easily be painted but on black it's not too bad.

I see exactly the type of closing plug you used....
Doesn't look that bad !!!
