i find the only prob with having it there is when its parked up at night its on show wouldnt want my car getting broken into cause u got the cover that goes over the radio bit
not mine, but its an adaptor plate which holds it in, and replaces the vents

have people gone mad? these are clios, the only ICE you need is on your hand or the sweet sound of your exhaust! haha
looks cool though 8)
Same problem as the R5's have.
Do a search of RSC/RTOC as i'm sure you'll find pics where people have swapped the heater and stereo positions round.

do a search on this site mate ?? i would like look at them pics cause im am really looking into having 1 of these headunits but dont want it covering the oil dials up :( im sure some 1s put 1 in the old radio hole buy making a adapter plate to bring the headuint further out so when the screen comes out it doesnt hit the heater controls
ive got a seperate dvd player (12volt) in the glovebox and a 7" screen on the passenger side(stuck to screen with a suction arm). works fine and ive run the sound from the dvd player through the AUX on my headunit....

No, search on http://www.renaultsportsclub.com or http://www.rtoc.org/.
Basically you want any forum thats got some GTT/R5 people as its a common swap on those cars and the dash layout is basically the same as a clio.
Putting it in the std clio stereo hole with an adapter will look odd IMO.
Theres an example of a R5 setup on pistonheads atm - http://petrolheads.com/sales/246814.htm...i.e;

IIRC there was a unit available that went down instead of up with the controls on top (if that makes sense after too much xmas ale :P)

Not a clue sorry mate, used to work at halfords.
Sure i saw one in the catalogues.
You can just make out in my old starlet where i located the head unit on that as the standard head unit was a small odd size :roll:
Pretty handy place to have a stereo actually.
