Spare wheel cover

Can anyone tell me how to cut a perfect 16½" diameter disc that won't need any more finishing than a quick sand down and coat of varnish?
If I use a jigsaw I'll be spending ages trying to true up the circle and will likely end up with a 14" disc.
Also, how can I get it to stay on.

I need to mount my rear number plate and number plate light to it and my thick vinyl one that had ply behind for the number plate and light to screw to is splitting and I was never really happy with it.
Hopefully it will look factory ish though when done.

think I'll take my spare wheel off and strap to the back seats in the rear space and fit this on the back door

I don't know really. I've had and chucked soft covers before and I don't like them but I think I like the look of the tyre showing. I have one which is for a 31 10.5 15 which is way too big.
I even tried removing the wheel carrier completely, had the wheel in the back, but the shaped bumper makes it look daft.
kirkynut:I've just bought a genuine Zuki spare wheel disc for £33 off eBay - quite expensive for what it is but I have this thing about not wanting anything on my Jimny to be home made looking.
Nice, I think I was looking at that and a 16" one for Vitaras but I couldn't bear to part with the money.

I mean for me, thinking of those in a queue behind me would keep me smiling as they overtook one at a time .....
