Boot Area – Finishing Off

The boot area has been painted in Satin Black to finish off the area.

To cover the spare wheel well I sourced a pre-cut perspex panel, with a central hole cut in it allowing it to be secured by the original locking piece. The panel is to stop things crushing the boot carpet into the spare wheel well when the car is loaded up en-route to track days:

And here it is fitted. A few pre-cut self adhesive felt pads have been stuck to the underside around the edge to prevent rattling:

Here is the roll of interior carpet I sourced for the boot and rear area. Not cheap at £60 for the roll, but it is of a very high quality and all but matches the factory interior trim:

Laid out ready for initial cutting, which was quite nerve-racking when you start to cut given the cost of the carpet!
