Default facia kit
Has anyone seen one of these facia kits and/or know where to get one from?

Yeah I bought one of those as well, didn't match up at all and was a total waste of time and money.

I finally found a single DIN pocket that works well. (shame it's grey not black)
I haven't seen the one above before, but it looks like it could make a single DIN deck fit nicely

It's an Aerpro unit.

I bought that unit from my local Autobarn.

It is an AU1 pocket (1 1/2 DIN) but I needed that one for my 3 series (2 DIN) as the headunit I was (at the time) fitting wouldn't allow the series 3 one to fit

I should explain that I had to cut the top surround off the unit (leaving just the pocket) to get the result I was after

Go buy some matt black Septone spray paint from Autobarn. It is a damn perfect match for the Black AU interior.

I thought about painting it but was concerned the inside part would be too hard to paint.

nope, i thought about it, but had no clue how to pull it out and didnt want to risk breaking it. I read some instructions somewhere around here about how to do it, will need to find it though.
