But i have no idea if they will fit
Can anyone tell me if they will fit and how to install

Im very grateful

Thanks Ross

You won't get better sound with those unless you're running a different head unit or amp. The reason is that the stock speakers are of a different impedance to aftermarket ones so they always have more bass than low-end component speakers because they're matched to the VW head unit.

You want 6-6.5" component speakers but I wouldn't bother until you can amp them properly.

The best upgrade is a subtle small sub in the boot, then you can lower the amount of bass to the fronts, up the volume and get a better fill of sound.

Personally I'd look for (at a minimum) Alpine Type-R components or above, but 2nd hand you can probably find them for £40 upwards.

Here's a quick guide to fitting:
