Default LF an air compressor that fits in the C6

What air compressor do you have that fits in the C6 storage area in the corners of your trunk?

I'm looking to buy new tires and don't want to buy RF tires.
I need a compressor that will fit in the small cargo boxes in the rear of the C6 trunk.
Please post links to where the item is sold.

Thank you.

I wouldn't use a canned flat fix like slime. Use a Stop and Go plug kit.

Slime makes a small compressor that I've used many time on cars and motorcycles.

Yes, it fits in the small cubbie in the cargo area. I agree with LowRyter, I would not use the slime, but I did remove the compressor, and that's what I have available for the car.

Fix a flat works great when you have the object that made the puncture in still. Then you can take it to some place for a proper patch.
