Wow. That is a throwback and a half, welcome back! As you can probably tell it's quite a bit quieter on here than it was 10+ years ago! I must admit, every year I flirt with the idea of buying a GTi when whatever car I've bought dies after 6 months, but I usually need to buy something in a...

Sorry just realised your question too - I fitted one of these to my 2003 SXE and it was painless. Removing the fascia was easier on mine though as the previous owner had already snapped it a bit to add a Nokia handsfree kit. Luckily I was able to use the 12v feed from that very handsfree kit...
