Just wondered if anyone has this universal pillar pod fitted?

Are they any good, or is there better on the market?

Cheers:guinness

Yeah I fitted one to my FC.It took a bit of cutting to get the right profile and a little heat to mould it a little. I fibreglassed it on then gave it a light coat of black paint. Looks ok too considering it cost me about Â£15 all in!

Been doing some more thinking and I may remove the stereo, its a double din thingy and make a blanking plate. The damn radio only goes up to 90fm anyway so I only get radio 2!! Has anyone done this? Is it just a bit of plastic I will require? and do they sell bits like that on ebay?

TiddlesRX7 · October 06, 2009, 04:35:53 PM

Im gonna do it shortly but yeah its been done by quite a few people. One person on here that did it was Grinder on the couple that Brett just sold.

Hmmmm, well he can do mine then, and i will pay him with biscuits

Might use this

i\'m pretty sure the \'hole\' is bit bigger than a normal double din as i have a uk double din in my fc ans theres about a 1cm gap open.
brian (purple fc) has a cover on it, think it had something in it but may be of use to you?

grinder · October 07, 2009, 09:40:54 AM

if its a stock car ( which i think it is ) then you should beable to stick a normal radio in and then a din plate either ontop or underneath

you got a decent pic of your centre console ??

hmm.. i nvr tried as it came with a double din, and that didnt fill up the whole hole :2Confused
my new double din dont fill it up completely either..
i think i just got a weird fc...

no pic as no car :Grrr

TiddlesRX7 · October 07, 2009, 05:05:10 PM

Yeah I have a single din radio and a single din cubby box in mine. Fits like a glove, well actually tighter than that!

G@NDY · October 07, 2009, 05:08:16 PM

I wasnt going to bother refitting the radio, as its rubbish. Will get some pics up of it tomorrow.
