Friend of a friend did it for me, £250 for parts and labour it cost. Still a long way to go and have suddenly developed unbelievable debt problems from nowhere (never get married, long story). Here's what she looks like at the moment. Done a few more things since but you get the idea..



Since, it's had new VW centre caps, new coolant bottle, HID 8000k xenon headlights and some other bits and pieces. Interior is now a full heated black leather Recaro colour concept one, have new carpets, have a leather mk4 gearknob, custom leather gear gaiter with "GTi 16v" stitched in, chrome cabrio door pulls, wolfsburg chrome door pins, red car mats and a retrimmed red roof lining. Dials are plasma backlit, switches have been chnaged to red LEDs. Just need to get hold of a leather steering wheel if I ever get some money again!
