I will also be doing this over the next few months.

For the coolant bottle, I've considered getting a top-fill radiator.

when I did mine ( see my project section for details, black mk 2 not the rallye one) I put the majority of the wiring in the chassis legs. easy enough to do and I didn't need to extend anything either.
Alot of it depends on how far you want to go and how skilled you are at being creative and being able to make alternatives.
