So rebuilt the boot false floor today with a design similar to the tourers and made the opening shorter so I can access the spare wheel without having to take the sub out. Also fitted a much nicer handle to the floor from a Mercedes. Fresh carpet too. Will paint the underside of the wood floor jet black when I get a chance which will look tidier.

That looks really well, and a helluva a lot tidier than my own, something I have been wanting to tidy up' for a few years now, perhaps doing a full sub mould into the side, and struts on the hatch (21mm marine ply is not light! lol). I never considered using another marque's handle, makes it so much nicer, I had hoped to use the original handle, but made do with the original carpet, as the acoustic cloth matched it too. Mine has a a cut out in the right hand corner to lift for spare wheel access.
