fitting double din inplace of single
 

just picked up a double din surround and looking to fit my double din aftermarket head unit.
I have read the diy using the single din cage but I am worried making a mess of it and wasting my nice immaculate dash.
Is it easy to do and does it all sit nice ?

just finished my head unit diy.
just trying to find the same walnut colour in sticker form to cover the black parts round the unit

Although you do have quite a bit of black stuff around the new screen, I would be inclined to try and find some black plastic that matched the black of the climate control until below it. I think it would look better than surrounding it with a walnut colour, and more in keeping with the original. Rough idea of what both colours would look like.

That's a very neat job, and yes I agree with steamship - definitely try to match the black plastic below, not the wood effect. :tuttut:

agree with HP, neat job and would try and match the black+++

will either find a trim sheet in black or even spray paint it?
I know if I was to use dash shine spray it would change the facia colour to match the blower controls but the surround isn't a flat plastic and might need sanded before anything down to that.
