As you can see the old radio was a double din so I had to buy a fascia kit from eBay which included the plate, ISO adapter and also the aerial adapter.

I went very much the DIY root which included cutting and sanding to avoid forking over money for a new single din dash!

Decided to throw this up incase anybody was thinking they'd like to upgrade their sound system and I could give them steps and general help!

    No problem! Do you have the same model radio as the original I had in my car?
