Very carefully there are tools like plastic V shaped prising hand tools you can buy there are little oblong clips along every 5 inches or so, all the way from front to back. I would slowly see if you take it off by starting from the back first if you break those clips I'm sure VAG will still sell them?
Selsdon not too far from me!
Beechymonza has pictures and you can see they are white centred mounted!

That is a clean Mk2 you have there any more pictures post them up here let me see a nice Mk2 in my own area for a change 
Yes most of the chaps go down towards Brands Hatch look in the shows and meets section it should be all in there.
I go now and then to whore at the cars and TBF there are quite afew decent motors at that meet!
If you need VAG parts let me now PM me, I'll give you a number at Epsom he will sort you out for gen parts

It starts like that then you meet good people and its a community of sorts!
Some of my close friends all have jap cars Evo's GTR's the lot I get the mick taken out of me for having a 20+ year old car, but then you can't buy taste these days 
Stick up a project page or dub rides and show people what you have got from what I can see its nice but needs photos and info matey!
