My EH has never had a radio fitted,I have the chance to buy an original radio but never having fitted a radio I am very nervous about doing it myself or letting anybody else loose on my car,drilling holes in mudguard etc.
Can anyone out there who has fitted a radio advise me how to go about it,the problems etc.Also any parts other than the radio and speaker that I should have to allow for installation. Will any type of antenna do or can you buy the original type.
Thanks guys any help/advise is much appreciated.

Best part no holes required.

Make sure the speaker is the right resisatance (ohms) or you will damage the radio. i think they are 8 ohms but check that. You can't easily get 8 ohm (or whatever it is) speakers now because they don't make them anymore. Maybe 2 4 ohm speakers in series

tony I talked to a mate he cant remember the brand but he said they stick on the screen and he bought it from super cheep for about 35 or 40 bucks.
you can also get a booster for it and my mate says they are worth every cent.
