Hi Gareth,

I have what I believe to be the original speakers in my car. The speakers themselves are round (5" I think) and have rounded square trim plates with a circular speaker grille. All 4 are the same, in the positions you describe.

I have fitted a Pure Highway DAB CD/radio unit which I think looks OK. You can select the lighting to be the colour of your choice, and the aerial is one of those things you stick on the inside of a window, but I've mounted it on the back of the rear panel near the fuel fuller. As it's fibregalass it works fine.

Cheers, Richard
