I had been pricing up a spare 22mm socket, a 3/8th to 1/4 inch adaptor, and cutting the handle off a screwdriver with a 1/4 drive that's lost the magnet, welding (or gluing it) all together so it sticks up through the floor and into the boot... might end up costing me a tenner (will keep an old 1/4 drive socket in the rear cubby) but won't look as pretty as your solution
If you could take a photo of the workings of your neat little gadget I'd be very grateful

Awesome Gary!
Exactly what I was after, pretty bloody simple when you get down to it, I might be able to put something like that together myself... first I need to find some empty washing up bottles, some sticky back plastic, a pair of scissors... and of course an adult (I’m gonna struggle with that one) I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Matt most definitely
I had the side steps on my XC90 raptor coated in matt black and they looked great, if you use the matt lacquer they should stay/be easier to clean as well...I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

These were the side steps on the XC90, matt black Raptor rather than the standard aluminium

but won't look as pretty as your solution 
looks like someone was ok paying more than £15 for it.
