First off, the headunit install. I used two methods
a) using the single din solution using factory pocket to turn the double din into a single din:

to accomplish that I need to trim the headunit of the tabs it had on the sides to I could get it to sit deeper into the dash:

That solution was more of a jerry rig as the case was really what kept the radio in place when sliding in the dash piece..

b) Permanent solution:
Took a Metra Double Din kit and a Metra pocket and built a single din with pocket dash kit using CA glue and ABS.
Part one, glue the pocket:

Sand the hardened CA glue smooth to make it unnoticeable and give the abs some texture..

Door sails
Originally VW was gracious to put some small tweeters in the sails, but, always a but, they were way smaller than the tweeters I was going to run

Used grill cloth and resing to make it permanent
