That's a stock body kit, it comes from the 04-05 GLIs. You can probably buy the kits if you look hard enough online/locally, though they aren't cheap to come by as they're quite rare.

They're 04.5+05 GLI OEM Votex kit. 2004 GLI (VR6) does not have the Votex kit.

You'll have better luck finding them on VWVortex.
I also highly recommend the OEM HIDs with the dual projectors.

The best money you will probably spend on the Mk4 is getting her chipped with REVO program. It's good for close to ~40hp, ~40lbs of torque at the wheels if I recall correctly. I think the cost is ~$600-$700 but this was years ago when I last checked.

As for looks, H & R sports provide a good drop/comfort ratio. Throw on some BBS wheels and call it a day.

+1

BBS LMs plus the OEM body kit. that's pretty much all you need.
