The requirements are:

- Silver

I was thinking:

Any suggestions/advice?

Hey bud,

You cant really go wrong along the lines of Alpine, Clarion or Pioneer so might be worth just having a look about to see which suits your style.

i can recommend you take a look at this site tho as they are really good on the pricing

Cheers

I can comment on that headunit Phil, I have one in my room. Just waiting until I get the rest of the gear for it to go in.

Looks great, is easy to use (the middle knob/button controls just about all you'd need it to) it's switchable between 40w and 60w and comes with a remote

It would compliment the blue on the dash a treat, but as Randall says Car Audio Direct is the place to go

I really want it, but dont know if i can justify Â£200 for a headunit... ice really isnt important to me. Just trying to think of anything else id like before i buy one.

It was Â£280 when I bought it, I then went on to spend another Â£300-Â£400 on audio which is all now in my bedroom

If you do go for it, you'll like it.

I've just checked and it's no longer on www.Caraudiodirect.co.uk but if you e-mailed them they may be able to help you.
