Dual DIN on Linea and Punto possible?

vigneshram · 28th November 2009, 19:49

Guys
i always wanted a touchscreen DVD player on my Punto.But i thought of a single din with a motorised screen.but the main issue it would block both the ac vents.So next alternate,dual din..But FIAT people had no concern for this poor Punto enthusiast.So i call Technokrat.They say conversion can be done and would cost something around 4k.i was like wow..Then i got to know they already have done for one Linea and the customer was Mr.Paul Raymond.Got the contact info on Mr.Paul.Went and saw his car..I was shocked to see the quality of work.4k is just about good for the work.See the pics to understand more.BTW Mr.Paul also has a MOMO 16 incher wheel on a LINEA Dynamic.

No doubt its a nice fitting.

Linea has got space for 2din, so the sytem fit properly.
But do punto has got space for 2din audio?

Punto and Linea have the same dash.

Looks good. Has he changed the dash colors from the boring silver to some beige color?

really neat rims!.. those are the MOMO WRS right?

Good alloys man. The install of the music system also looks very neat. If I understand correctly the 4K is for the installation work only? Am I correct?

Congrats.Nice Head unit. Goes well with the dash. What tyre size are you running? 195 or 205?

dont mistake me.its awesome.

Looks very neat and nice. Would have been even better if the plastic surround was the same gray/silver colour as the surround of the A/C vents and A/V controls.

Can you post a picture of the unmodified dash for comparison?
