Title: Double din radio nacelle
Post by: fisherwineman on 03 September 2007, 14:56:48

I`ve just fitted a double din DVD player and I`ve left an ugly space around the edge.
Is there a fitting I can get to dress it up a bit.
Hope you can Help,
Wineprovider

I would insert an image but I can`t work out how ..................sorry

Only thing I could think of would be to buy a double to single DIN convertor plate from Halfrauds etc (Autoleads make them) and try and modify it.

Thank you........ I have asked Autoleads if they can help and will go to a local  HALFORDS  tomorrow.
God bless,

this one will work so long as you as prepared to modify it a bit.

the reason being the centre console on the Omega is tapered, the one on offer here has straight sides.

a craft knife and some time could see this sorted though...

if you do some pics would be good  :y

Thanks again. :y I made one myself and trim med it to fit. I`m sure it`s not as good as a pucker one but it has done me pround `till now.
Do you want the template so other members may use it?

It`s not a very good picture but it will give you the idea.


Perhaps someone could tell me where to get the codes for the pics so I can put a picture of my car here.

Just register with Photobucket, upload your pics their, and its the IMG code that you copy/paste into your post here :y

I can`t see where to get the codes in "Snapfish"..........photobucket >:(

If and when I do; do I insert between the HTML tags?

It appears my last post didn`t make it. I asked where I get the codes on snapfish (photobucket)  and do I insert them in between the HTML tags?

Not too sure to be honest, there ain't no HTML tags on my pics, try a it and put it in a post in the test section, see if it works then.

Everytime I click on the photobucket website it sends me to ebay

Post by: fisherwineman on 20 January 2008, 09:30:20

I went to google and then clicked on the register link and think I`ve cracked it now.

Job done, try the link below for photobucket.  :y

Can I just explain that the link your providing does not include photobucket itself. If you  click on the link within which says www.photobucket.com it takes you to Ebay.
Here`s another pic. it`s not best as I didn`t know what I was doing.

Well musty be something wrong then, as when I click on the link in my post it takes me just to photobucket, where you can register, it does'nt take you to e-bay ::)

If you are clicking on a link like that (which does take you to Pohtobucket) and you are being redirected elsewhere then whatever you do, do not input ANY personal data!

Instead run a full virus scan then download and run spy checking software like Ad Aware.

If you are unsure about anything, PM me.

Thank you I`m happy with the photobucket issue.
However when I try to put a picture of my car into my profile I tick the box>enter the URL. then it`s never remembered and thus....not published.
Any ideas?
