I desperately want a dash with the hole cut out for the radio but I was told by Lance Owen it was too late

copied from a mail from Neil ...."Stereo cut out needs to be ordered via Wayne using part no. 93184404" or get one off thorney

you wont need a stereo - sensory overload is standard with a VXR

Stu and Cheeky. Problem duly sorted

The reason for the stereo is to give the gf some knobs to play with to take her mind off my driving

What Stereo are you looking to get ? I was hoping to try a DAB, but unless you go for the Goodmans from that well known Car Audio specialist 'Argos' then I beleive you need a seperate DAB aerial or at least a special DAB/FM with decoder box ?

The Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB 53 (as fitted in the elise) looks the best and reasonably priced but has anyone got one ?

Cheers, Ian

PS If anybody wants info on the Radio Dash then let me know as mine is sitting in the garage, still in it's bubble wrap, waiting for me to get the stereo & fit it !

I just took delivery of a sony CDXM 8800....all black, flurescent screen ..no buttons was considering the DAB 53...bloody cheep at audiodirect...but was swayed by the sonys looks.. now I am waiting for mr Thorne to send me the CF cut out.... I did originally order the cut out....but my VXL dealer told me 110 + fitting....and its not even real CF... so...I cancelled...and went for the genuiune article.. Mani

Absolutely no idea I'm in no rush to get one fitted - Just wanted to make sure the provision is there for when I'm ready.

Having said that any suggestions would be welcome as I'm really out of touch these days. I guess the choice is as bewildering as trying to choose a digital camera

There is a turbo that came into my local dealer, and vauxhall had not put in a blanking plate so they had to pay (vauxhall.) for a new ally strip.

[cheeky_chops]

/sales pitch Remember in the shop I've sorted a special VXR carbon fibre set specially for the VXR's. You get the carbon fibre dash, the handle guards and the gear box shroud for £470 rather that the £525 they'd cost individually /sales pitch
