I thought there was part of the boot trim missing when I first got my golf, it would be so much better if VW supplied a cover and you can use that if you don’t want a triangle. I think the warning triangles across the VAG range are probably all the same, I had an old one in the shed from a prior Seat and it fitted in the gap.
Prior - MK2 GTi Big Bumper in White
Current - MK8 GTi Clubsport in Moonstone Grey

In some European countries the warning triangle is a legal requirement and probably comes with the car...

Remember the base build specs vary per country.... a base GTI in Germany is an entirely different thing to a UK one!

I’m not sure that would fit, looks a tad too wide. The genuine ones can be bought on eBay for £10-£15,
