Hi Rob, I'd still be worried about scuffs on the paint finish as the boot lid really picks up the light due to it's curves, you'll be surprised how much you can get in the boot, we got all my wifes shoes and some odds and ends in the hole in the boot liner (right hand side)all luggage in boot and under hood, coats etc on top of luggage in boot (easy access) and coming home I even found room for 6 bottles of wine!! (have a practice pack, you'll be surprised what fits in), most of all, enjoy, Cheers, Ian
