the side strips are just stuck on with strong glue! we de stripped the sides of my g/fs mk4 by heating the glue slightly first with a hair drier and then carefully peeling the strips off.
some of the laquer did get removed aswell but shes not too worried about this as shes gonna get a full respray soon hopefully!
as for 16v bumpers, she managed to get a full set, practically in mint condition from ebay for around £200. she was lucky in my opinion as the week before, we'd watched a front bumper go for £165 (incomplete) and a rear go for £120!
as for alloys, they have to have 4 studs and have a PCD of 4x100 and the correct centre bore for vw fitment which is 57.1 i think? and the offset has to be between 30 and 40 or the wheels could stick out from the arch if they are too wide!
hope some of this helps
