Fair enough. Looking good so far though man!
Going to be nosy and ask what are you using to secure the box in the boot? Looks like velcro straps?
Been looking for something to secure a slightly bigger bag/box for some essentials and quick detailing stuff.

Thanks mate
No not velcro, these are proper straps which were standard with the car and are riveted to the boot wall

Don't forget that even without rear seats your car is still registered as a 4-seater - so your insurance company will need to know. Your car could fail the MOT without rear seats too. Just a warning!

Thanks mate, will bare that in mind, just renewed my insurance literally and mot is due in march but i been using the same garage for the last 7yrs so they might be ok with it but will double check and if needs be the rear seats will go back in and an awesome install will be made
Just spoke to the garage, they've said that if there's nothing fitted to do with the rear seats, i.e. the seats, seatbelts and the seatbelt buckles then it won't fail the mot

My GTi 138 failed the MOT because it had 180 seats (4-seater) but was registered as a 5-seater on the V5C.
Maybe the tester was just envious

If your referring to the circular black trim just behind the drivers seat, that's the fuel pump mate.
