Default A Double Din fascia for a 03 Focus CL?

Hey,

I've had my 03 Focus for a while now, and I'm looking to replace the Head Unit, and rather than spending 300+. I'm just looking for a double din Fascia that will fit in an 03 Focus CL.

I haven't looked around much but have only found this one on the uk ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FOCUS-FAS...225118002r7967

Which would end up being around $33 AUD.

Are there any cheaper alternatives, preferably in Aus?

Cheers.

Edit: Also found this one, which looks alot better.

Check out if aerpro sell it. I think they have a catalogue on their website. Get a price from autobahn.

Otherwise go to your local JB hifi or similar and price one there.

What's wrong with the factory head unit?

I find it to have really good quality audio compared to many factory systems I have used, and if you change to a single din audio player, I just think it wont just look right.

I upgraded my single in-dash Factory unit to a 6 Disc in-dash that's found in higher spec LR's and couldn't be happier with it. I believe it's got a more powerful amp although someone can confirm or deny this for me. You could try and source one from a wreck.

Nah, I don't need the pocket.

Right now It's just the 6000 CD or whatever it's called, So I'll just look around for a fascia at JB, Autobarn, and there seems to be one of those AerPro places about 15 minutes away from me so I might check it out.
