1 screen + DVD player = 250 quid at Maplins, plus fitting.

Depends what you want, and what your priorities are

found it but i was thinking more on the lines of having a roof mounted or headrest (bucket seat?!?!?!) installation rather than one you attach with straps

I suppose that's the difference between 250 quid four times as much...

yes about right, ceturion screens - the 6" widescreens ar about 230 each, and centurion single din dvd is 300 ish. personally i'd go for a dvd changer or leading brand for the dvd source, and use the centurion screens - check alpine, kenwood, for their dvd offerings.

Any *good* ice fitter will be able to do this. Look for a recommendation before diving in though, as some fitters idea of a good job done varies considerably.

Where in the country are you?

Cheers,
Nick.

Don't suppose anyone knows a company who could swap MY93 WRX dashboard - apparently a P1 dash will fit with a bit of persuasion!?
