Radio, demister, glovebox and the reciprocating wiper arms should all go in without butchering... though it is pretty tight. You will need to spend some time with your head under their to get the demister tube routeing right though.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong,but I think thats an FB radio out of a sedan.
The commercial radios had radiused corners on the facia.
I think the EK radios had the black plastic facias.
This may be why you are having an issue with fitment.(maybe not)

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

The alloy faceplate is from a special, as it is intended to marry up with the dash trim.
The light should illuminate the little red lens next to the diamond dot.

I see what you mean about no hole in the dash for the light to shine through though :wtf:
