yes, but I'm not the only person who's made their boot a lot bigger. Mine was massive, but not done to look pretty - however it made a good seat / lookout post / spare carrier / cooking table etc...

Has anyone else noticed the roof - looks like a full sized sun roof similar to 2CV.

I thought they were just roof rack bars with insulating foam around them, or am I wrong?
