Thank you mate! What do you recommend instead of this!? I think the first thing today is paint that silver rear emblem! I need to colour code it.

Here's my rear badge,
As for the stereo, you have 2 choices:
1- I have the kenwood dnx520vbt which is a touch screen with built in garmin sat nav, parrot Bluetooth hands free, iPhone/iPod connectivity, tv (needs extra tuner) and DVD player. This is made for VW by kenwood and is a straight fit with no other modifications/extras. Approx £450 on the net

2- rns510, touch screen sat nav, iPhone/iPod connectivity, shows the climate/parking sensors/rear view on the screen Extra Bluetooth module need for phone connection though. Possibility of battery drain on pre 06 cars due to the canbus leaving the power on (I don't know the exact reason for this) approx £400 for the unit

There are lots of other options but I would avoid the Asian copies (not saying there's anything wrong with them) and if possible think about the dab versions of these!
Hope this helps

Get them dash trims wrapped!!!!! Look it's easy!
Joshy:
I will have a look at the HU mate! They both do look better than mine.
Your rear badge looks awesome mate. I'm not sure what to do to mine. Either leave the logo silver and colour code thr bit behind the logo OR colour code everything!
I was actually thinking of wrapping those trims! Was thinking of doing them in alcantara but i've not used it before. Carbon maybe the better option! Is there a tutorial on how to remove them?
J12spk:
There's a fella on here called brookesb32 who customises rear badges contact him and discuss the options, mines a mk6 rear badge I think!
One of the new moderators on hear xjay has a mate that does trimming and can do most parts in alcantara, wrapping will be easier and cheaper and there are loads of guides/videos on how to wrap interior parts. Buy yourself a trim removal kit then follow this http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3968.0
