The Connects2 fascia is a good match as well. I used the kit for my Kenwood double din same texture and shade.

Will post a picture tomorrow

I've bought a great one that's a single piece so you don't get the extra square edge around the stereo, waiting for it to arrive from the USA, will post some pictures when I get it and fit my Kenwood in it.

Skip through to 18min 30 secs in this video and you'll see what I've ordered.  I think the single piece facia looks great.

That looks good! The connects2 does use the headunits trim piece, but its a nice fit. I was in a rush so I got that from CarAudioSecurity.

Here's mine, still need to adjust it a bit to get it to sit perfectly flush


Here's a close up to show the colour differences with the plastics. The inside trim is the kenwood one, the middle trim is the connects2 kit and obviously the outer trim is the dash.

The connects2 is a pretty good match, the kenwood isn't too bad, slightly lighter shade.

Hope this helps

I used the Connects2 CT23VW07 Double DIN fascia in mine, a bit pricey but I think the results are great in the end as it fits flush. I had to improvise on securing the unit to the cage as it didn't come with the correct screws oddly but I had some spares which just fit luckily.





I got mine from this ebay seller (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350586403346?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649), hope this helps.
