Hi, we were chatting about it here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=121979.0 not long ago.  It's easier than it looks.  took an hour the first time, go for it! would be a rip if you got someone else to do it.

Seriously mate, piece of cake, you can just take 1 bit off at a time and replcae one at a time like scooby said, don't even need instructions. You'll be surprised how easy it is, i was. ans you really do feel like youve made such a big improvement on the car!
