Where did you find the kit as I'm after one?
Kit came from eBay - I paid £70 Buy It Now from this seller but it looks like a one off.

The kit should look like this?..
It's a front door speaker kit for the 10 speaker system and should be plug n play if you have the 10 speaker system which your GTI should have?
I wouldn't mind one of these kits myself but not any cheap sets going these days
Yes, the front passenger door though now I've replaced a blown woofer I'd like to fit the whole kit in both doors.
That's the same kit - but there is no wiring for the cross over or the midrange and the tweeter plugs are different.
Only early gtis had 10 speaker systems as standard. After late 2005ish it was an option and most cars rolled out with 8 not 10.
You can splice into the woofers wiring and run wires to the mids thats easiest to do and works fine.
Yes, whoever specced the car from new only put in the RCD300 so I assume they didn't care about music :) They didn't fit cruise either so perhaps they just wanted the performance.
I did figure it wouldn't be that big a deal to splice in the tweeter as the wiring there are only a couple of wires in each plug and one is marked with a black stripe so is presumably negative.
I can only get that plug wrong once :)
The cross over has 10 unlabelled black wires going into the plug alone so I'm a bit lost as to what to splice to where.
I'd like to use the crossovers rather than push bass frequencies through the little mids if it can be done, otherwise I'll probably just leave them out as little speakers trying to push bass is probably worse than not having them in there at all.
I was hoping there was a simple loom to go with the upgrade kit but it looks like I'm out of luck. I haven't actually spoken to VW so might see if the main dealer has any parts listed.
Thanks for replies guys, I'd almost given up on getting any help :)
EDIT here are some phone pics of the set up and the connectors.
