right now that my initial and arguably most important modification has been completed (stickers are stuck) its time to get down to business !

I have potentially come across quite a nice Alpine headunit with all the goodies (bluetooth, ipod connection etc) for a reasonable price. Is it worth whacking this in to replace the 6006 or should I keep the dash looking the same ? Just a bit worried that the double to single din will look a bit weird afterwards.

As ever the collective advice of FiestaSt is much appreciated!

If your buying this new, make sure it has bluetooth and is not just bluetooth ready, the alpines are only ever bluetooth ready and the modules are quite a bit of money (about £80 from memory) which is why I went for a pioneer in the end
