    Ohhh....er.....hmm......Well done on the quality of the work, but I wouldn't want it in mine. Something about granite \ marble not featuring heavily (ha ha) in automotive materials of choice.

    What headunit is that - looks like "DIN-and-a-bit sized" - so it sort of hangs out of the bottom? Does it do SatNav?

    i agree with you steve,its not to everyones taste.the headunit is a bit bigger than a single din on the face but is actually a single din and yes it does do satnav and dvd's ............

    I'm sure it looks much better in the flesh. Photos often don't do the real thing justice. I like.
