Boot Storage Idea
In my A4 I use to carry a selection of tools, blankets, spare clothes, first aid kits, spare bulbs and a night light.
Half the that kit is not going in the 8 but the rest of it (blankes, clothes, first aid kit and such) I would like to put in. I can't make a false floor in the 8 like I did in the A4 so I'm trawling ebay for secure and tidy boot organisers. I'm debating this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121294017774 But with it being a bit hole in the middle and no dividers I'm not that keen on it. Does anyone use any boot storage bags or anything?

That looks fairly small, only 50cm wide.
I use the side spaces in my D2 boot having acquired a full panel for the right side now. Symmetrical, I don't have the "TV bulge" on the left. Behind those panels I have a fair bit of space: Left, I've dropped the CD changer below the floor (no Bose) and made a false floor held by Velcro so have a big space above for motley stuff such as spare bulbs, deicer, electric air pump etc. etc. Right, I have a 9-litre (2-gallon) metal petrol can for emergencies. It's empty by the way. There's also room for a few cloths and stuff as well. I also have some heavier stuff like a battery charger, jump leads etc. in the spare wheel centre. The ski hatch "giant condom" is also down there somewhere.

Sounds like you got a lot more side space that I have in the D3.
I got a little basket area on the left (needs a new netting) and the battery on the right. can't do anything with them. The spare wheel is empty at the moment, waiting on the twobar storage to turn and I might be able to get a few things in there but then that's it. I got the area behind where the netting goes that I'd like to put something in there. This one looks ok as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261397912714

One Tesco "Big Green Bag", containing one (empty) Virgin Wines 12-bottle wine carton with the top folded in. If you get the right bag and carton it's a strong snug fit and can be carried in one hand.
