Right...... Im sure this question has been asked before...
Im fed up of looking at the double DIN head unit, I have a Pioneer 7400MP3 from my old car to go into it, but just havent been able to find a facia panel that matches the colour of the centre console....
I know autoleads do a black and a silver one, but they are not the right match. I have a Corsa C which is about 4weeks old, and the centre console is a much lighter silver than the facia autoleads supply., its like silver/bluey in colour.
Are you still with me?? Hope so.
Anyways can I buy a facia to match, if not can I get the paint to match if so where from and how much is it going to cost me, also where should I get the facia from to paint.
If I cant get paint to match, can I get one thats a near enough good match so you can hardly tell they are different.
Please help
Cheers

anyone??
Really want to get my head-unit put in, as the G/F bought it for me when I had my last car, and is already moaning because I havent put it in my Corsa yet.

hi m8. a number of people have had this problem on here. someone mentioned that a vw silver was the best match, but i cant remember if it was for the newer models or not.
I dont think theres much else you can do but buy the black one and try get a bodyshop to match the silver - or just get the whole console sprayed including the adapter lol

I think I would rather just get the facia sprayed than the whole console 
VW Silver...... mmmm, does anyone know if this is for the newer model Corsa C's??
Then again, I guess I will have to spray the whole console if I cant find a near enough match  ..... dont really wanna do that

CorSRi_BT - thats the older colour mate...... Im after the silver/bluey colour, think paulr202000 might be able to help me out. I hope so anyways 
dannycorsa c - I rang vauxhall and they said contact my local dealer which I did and he said they only come in two colours.... Black and the old grey/silver colour.
paulr202000 - if thats right then cool, Would you be able to do me a favour and find out how I can get hold off one, cost is not a problem...... but when ever I ring vauxhall they just say contact your dealer, and then all the dealers I ring just say we only have balck and grey/silver.
If you would find out for me that would be well smart.
Cheers bud.
PS.... cool I might be able to get it ordered today/2mora and have the head unit FINALLY fitted

Im at the vauxhall site now, I clicked on buy acessories, but I cant see New Corsa I can only see Corsa..... then when I go into Corsa I dont have an option for Car Audio Accessories....
What am I doing wrong?? Have you go a link??
Doesn't matter if you havent as Ive order one from the part number above, just curious to see it on the website.
Hope they order me the right one, as I want to get it fitted saturday morning

Went into Audio andnavigation and the only 3 I can see are:
Single DIN facia kit - black finish
Single DIN facia kit - matt chrome-effect
Single DIN facia kit - metallic charcoal-effect
No silver one.....
