Right todays work! The radio was just sitting ontop of the exhaust tunnel and kept falling into the footwell when driving. So finally i got round to relocating it. Ill write up a guide for this in a few weeks!
First off I cut up the lower centre plastic to take the radio.

Didnt mark it out and used a disc on a dremmel for a really square cut. So glad i didnt use the round sanding bit! perfect fit!

Unfortunately the radio was too long and fowled on the air channels so I had to remove those which removed the rigidity of the plastic. Going along some of the joints with a hot glue gun fixed that! Also because the channels were removed the hot air would just blow onto the radio and it would probably over heat. Unfortunately there was no gaffa tape so i had to layer electrical tape! No doubt ill have to take it out and do it again properly soon! Also I cut and drilled holes for an ipod and aux connector which is hidden in the holder with the lid! You cna probably see in some of these pictures a switch and some wiring which is my footwell neons!
