I fitted the after market wings to my mk1 caddy as I couldn't justify £220 each for them. They don't fit very well at all as they come, however with some work they can be made to fit ok. I had to elongate the holes on top to get the bonnet gap right and grind loads of metal away from the inner back edge to get them to sit flush with the door. Also had to tweak the top edge where it meets the windscreen scuttle panel to get the gaps right. Obviously make sure you trial fit them and do this work before spraying them.

I have got a mk1 caddy pickup so don't know alot about the cabriolet. I believe the wings are all the same for the mk1 variants (golf, jetta, caddy etc) but you may need to drill a hole for the side repeater if fitted and maybe make a slot for the bumper mount. I think the leather seats are original on a karmen spec cabriolet but i know very little about them so hopefully someone else will answer that question for you.
