Thanks, will probably rotate the wheels depending on the time of year. Will 256 discs fit under a 13 inch wheel?

Not sure. A bit of a problem with small wheels, small brakes

That looks lovely, I think I want to paint my white when thI time comes. You'll need 14s to go over your 256s I'm sure.

Nice simple update; Had ideas similar to the mk2 re: stereos and have now decided to go in a completely opposite direction!
Was influenced by the fact that the mk1 did not come with a radio from new and that this is in keeping with the era of the car.
To cut a long story short, I have blanked off the radio aperture with a genuine VW blanking plate I managed to find.
