Unfortunately due to the curve of the dash a little bit will stick out of the bottom unless you went single din with the right pocket underneath.

Yeh mate it is mine and it does stick out a bit at the bottom but it really doesn't look out of place. My mates have never noticed it. I'll take a side pic tomorrow if I remember and post it up for you

Didnt get a chance to do it today mate was out all day. It all really comes down to personal preference. ive had both a single din and this. having the single din looked neater because you could get the pocket the curves down the with facia. It looks more stock, whereas the double din you will have a tiny gap around the H/U and it will stick out at the bottom. The advantage of having a DVD player is that when you go on a long trip the passangers can watch a dvd or something. but in saying that you can get a single din pop out screen dvd player. Personal preference mate

Did mine at the weekend, looks virtually the same as Tickfrd6.
The surround is 'tucked in' at the top not not at the bottom. It looks neat rather than 'factory' if you get my meaning.

One thing with screens, check clearance between the screen as it 'pops out' and the gearshift lever... mine is a bit close.
