how do they do this? i was under the impression that it was pre determined and only a bit of butchery such as elomngating holes was the only way?

There is a degree (get it!) of play in the front hub set up. If you want to go mad then yes you need to start effing about.

i was under the impression vw can supply slightly thinner lower strut bolts to give a couple more degrees of adjustment?  :undecided:

Mk3's are unjusted strut to hub. You shouldn't need thinner bolts, unless you want to go extreme.

if you want loads of adjustment get hold of a set of passat struts and swap your springs over. they have rediculious amounts of adjustment as i found out at the weekend when i did said thing

just make sure you swap your springs over unless your after the 4x4 look

You can get a fair amount of adjustment on the front as they are. More than you will need usually.
