Scirocco 4motion trunk floor replacement

As described on earlier posts, pretty much the only major body modification needed for 4motion retrofit is replacing the trunk floor with a floor from Golf. We did this by following VW’s instructions. The only difference is that in VW’s instructions they use brand new floor, we started by first removing the floor piece from our donor car.

Ready to be installed to Scirocco. The large opening is for battery – some Golf models have battery on the trunk. This one has a metal plate to cover the hole.

Then it’s time to start cutting the Scirocco…

Comparing Golf and Scirocco floors. The difference in spare wheel space depth is remarkable.

Golf 4motion has a styrofoam spacer on the trunk to give space for the spare wheel. We’re not going to use that to keep the trunk volume original. We’re going to replace spare wheel with a tire repair kit.
