ok so i was sick of driving around in silence (no stereo) so i got myself a double din headunit! Pioneer P4100DVD i think it is! Brand new! ^_^ Filled the hole nicely, needed a bit of filing tho, was a couple of mm too small! B)

DSCN0552.jpg

It only as front speakers atm too! which are ever so tinny! B)

So some better speakers are most likely on the list of things to do too!

cheers to mickey boy & cheshireglanza for giving me some advice on here on how to get into the awkward space to change this!

Car now managed by Blitz Access ECU :)

Found one in belfast for sale and after postage costs £508! Expensive i know but what a difference its made to the car! So much smoother, it really is amazing what can be done without even raising the boost!

here she is :) :
