Hi Guys,
I've been trawling the internet for some pictures of something and I came across this:
http://vantagecanada.com/?p=347
These guys have managed to install a double DIN unit where there should only be a single DIN, they say that they had to do some surgery however I still think that it is interesting and there are some who have asked about doing this and what it might take to achieve.
Perhaps one of our Canadian members knows this shop? If not then perhaps it might be worth us (I don't mind doing it) getting in touch with them and asking them to tell us more about how they went about it.
I know that this isn't to everyone's taste and they admit that the finish isn't the best. I might even give this a go myself, having only removed the central fascia once I can't remember how the metal plate is held in place nor if it is structural to the dash. If it isn't then I see no reason why it can't be removed and replaced. The fascia will need to be modified obviously but that shouldn't be a problem.
Let me know if your interested in finding out more and I'll see what I can do about finding out more about this.
Cheers,
