Hoovered the whole car.
Fitted an emergency hand held extinguisher in the boot.
And put a new emergency breakdown kit up front.

Why go for double din? You can easily buy a single din unit and just buy another storage slot for the spare space........

I would also recommend trying someone like here as their prices are superb.

Looks like you got yourself a tidy little car and you seem happy with it and thats the main thing.

An ex girlfriend of mine had one and the main thing i remember about it is that the gears were so long but that was with me comparing it to my 5 GT Turbo though.
