Ford Staff, Ford Facia Plates!

Looking To change your Ford Stereo you’ll need a Facia! A fascia plate helps you to seamlessly fit a Car Stereo or GPS system. With changeable facia plates, it is very easy to change the make up of your Ford console. Due to the sculptured design of many new dashboards, the aperture left after removing the original manufacturers head unit may not be standard DIN size. This facia panel will allow the fitting of an aftermarket unit into the vehicle, whilst retaining the original shape of the dashboard.
