OK, the premiere of my new motor (Apart from the other thread)

Now, does anyone know how to shut the boot?

Very nice. I really love the Blue with Black Talladegas

ummm, there's two large holes on the inside door skin of the tailgate where you can grab hold of to shut it without touching the paint.

Or you could always retrofit stronger gas struts, do a little recoding in VCDS, and automate the closing process via your key fob. Actually, I think that's just for opening it, so ignore that.

Yep, arm up, palm of hand facing back towards you, and pull down the tailgate from one of those two "large holes" on the inside face of the tailgate as you step backwards (so it doesn't clonk you on the noggin!). That single motion will allow the tailgate to close without slamming or a further push etc. If you can't do it the first time, then practise a few times (and also, it can take the new strutts a little while to wear in...)
