Lovely car, I love a GTi in white, especially when this clean!
For boot liners, I went for a DriveDen one, they do one that fits the boot floor in upper and one in lower postition.

Here's the upper one which I have, it's good quality and fits very well:

Might be a daft question but what does variable floor boot mean, mine just seems to be fixed with a raised section near the rear seats. I have a spare wheel and the HK subwoofer so does that make a difference. Don’t want to buy the wrong sort of boot liner.

You have it in the lower level setting. Lift out the floor "tray" and slide it into the upper level, where it's almost level with the boot lip. The lower level isn't available in the R at all due to the rear drivetrain taking up the space.

There really isn't much difference between the lower and higher boot floor positions.  I think mine has been in the lower position for all 4 years.  It's only a centimeter or so if I remember correctly.

Ah no, it’s a lot more than that. Few inches at least. It’s still a small boot though, whichever position it’s in.
