More questions. Can I change the front grill bumper (black bit) for a newer type? So the line kind as below.

To the honey comb style, as below

One last thing. Is it easy to change the petrol cap from the nomal colour coded to the GTI/CC silver type, but keep the same key and lock.

If you swap non-sport for non-sport or sport for sport then I don't see why not.
To change the cap, take the cap off, leave the key in and the coloured part just twists off. 30 seconds of a job

Hi, changing the grill from the one you have to the honey comb grill is a fairly easy swap and provided you get the right grill as there are 2 shapes of front grill depending on the model of car. for example the grill on my GTI is different to the 2 you have linked to, mine is deeper and has a step in the bottom that fits around the number plate.
If you grill is the same shape as the 2 you have linked 2 and you are thinking of buying the second grill, its an easy swap although to do a proper job youll want to take the front bumper off. there are likely to be 2 10mm bolts under the front of the car, youll then need to take the wheel arch liners out and youll find 2 more 10mm bolts, one on each arch as it joins to the bumper.
The GTI fuel cap cover is a cover so you should be able to buy one and fit it easy to your existing fuel cap and keep your existing locks. Like this one for example:
