Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
I can order them no problem. I got the VBF and brackets from Czech. Where did you get the parts diagram from?

Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
I also have a net which attaches to the side (not behind the rear seats as the large one does). It also has had its capacity reduced because of the VBF. There does not appear to be a position where a hook could mount above the VBF as there is a plastic cover in the way. See photo. At the moment the rear of the net is attached to a hook which is now below the VBF.

Hi. Didn't know anything about the hooks. Do you want to sell the ones you have?

Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
Hi Dave. Received my VBF today. I ordered it from Czech. Saved $500 over what the local dealer was offering. I can also confirm that the left side rear tapped hole is not on my vehicle either. The issue I have is with the cargo nets. My car came with them, (and I think they're great) but I can't figure out how they attach now that the VBF is installed. Looks like it is either the VBF or the nets. Not very clever. Any thoughts? Dave

Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
Hi Dave. Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I've come across another chap living here who has family coming down to NZ soon. I've been trying to contact him, but he's away on holiday. I'm going to see if he can source the brackets and get them to me. If not, then I'll definitely take you up on your offer. Also, I'm going to go into the local dealership tomorrow arvo and give them the part numbers face to face, as I notice that Skoda NZ is in fact advertising the VBF on it's website! I'll let you know how I get on in the next few days. Oh yeah. Tauranga is southeast of Auckland. Not southwest as I wrote previously. Also, postage for a shoebox size box from Welly is only about 9 pounds. So very easy to do.

Hi Vivian. I must be a bit thick. I have been to both the web sites recommended, with no luck. Both sites turn up nothing when searching by part number. I've tried various descriptions as well, again with no luck. Any advice? I own another vehicle and regularly purchase items by part number. Why

Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
Hi Dave. Thanks for the pics. I didn't realise the parts would be so affordable. I will contact the company you supplied the name of, and see if they'll post to NZ. I'm in Tauranga. About 120miles southwest of Auckland. I'm taking the Scala to Auckland on Friday for a service, so I'll ask them one last time about the VBF parts. My contact is *****@*****.tld. Thanks again for your amazing help and time. Which Scala do you have? I know the options and varieties differ between here and there so model names probably don't mean much. Mine is a Style (which I know is available there) but doesn't have the same features you would get there. 1.5litre, no sunroof. Adaptive cruise. No self parking. No Satnav. Cloth seats. 18" wheels.

Fitting Variable Boot Floor to Scala
Hi Dave. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I've tried a couple of local dealers. Radio silence. Might try Sydney or Melbourne next. I expect shipping from the UK to be about 50pounds for the brackets. The actual floor, I'll probably make myself once I have the brackets installed. I'll give the locals another week to respond, then might take you up on your offer of photos and dims. Don't have any friends/family in the UK. Was it difficult removing the boot liner over the wheel arches? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Dave.

Hi Dave. Where did you purchase the brackets? (S6578 645 129 B9 and S6578 645 119 B9) I'm in NZ. None of the dealers here seem to be interested. Would appreciate some help on this. If I can't purchase the original parts I was thinking of having them machined from plastic. I've already modelled the left side based on your photos (thanks). The floor itself I would make from... something and cover with car trim material. Thanks.
