Yep it does mate. I put the silver stereo in my bugeye. Doesn't sound any better but looks more modern then the old black one.

Lol it's not far off it, mate.

You'd be better off buying a dash pocket and a single DIN head unit...

You know it makes sense

Then you run the risk of getting the car broken into to steal a DIN sized unit. I wouldn't take the risk. Try getting hold of a double DIN Clarion or Poineer unit and buy some decent door speakers like my nephew did

What he said. The standard head units are cr@p, as are the standard speakers too mind.

Was thinking about changing all of mine, although I've now got used to the poor quality. If summer bonus allow's I'll change mine then.

I understand were you are coming from, but there are plenty of opportunistic ******* out there who won't realise what size the headunit is...

Aren't quite a few cars double DIN now?

A ****** broke into my car obviously for the stereo, and the front panel wasn't even on it
