When I bought my car it came with a Halfords special stereo fitted, which while it works fine and does what I'd expect a radio to do, It looks naff. So I want to find and fit what would have came standard.

Anyone have one they want rid of?
 
I am potentially looking at getting rid of the whole system from my car. Amp sat nav the screen and the radio.

Hey, I have one from breaking my car. What colour is your interior? The radio is to match the grey interior.

As much as I'd love the full nav set up, realistically its way out of my technical abilities to fit it all!

My interior is black......I wasn't aware that the stereos came in different colours.
 
Ah ok, well I gues its up to personal preference. This is a link to it on ebay, but obviously feel free to come direct! ;)

Looks like you have a facelift car. I am not entirely sure but the way I understand it, pre-facelift cars had the cabin plastics in grey. These parts are black on the facelift model, as can be seen from your photo. So the radio you are looking for should ideally be black (same color as the buttons on the radio).

The one on the ebay link is grey. You can see the difference between the buttons and the rest of the unit. This will probably contrast with your interior.
 
Thankfully they declined my offer, using the buttons as a guide I can see the difference a bit better now. Black it is!

Cheers! :thumbsup:
