I refuse to chop the radio hole to put in a modern radio though.  I  try to 
keep my changes to what was stock or what could have likely been done  back 
then and to minimize permanent changes

I am planning to TRY to install a modern DIN radio in my Corsa as  follows.
 
Bend the tabs down 90 degrees that hold the radio in place now (this  being a 
non-permanant mod). Mill (out of billet) a faceplate that will  mount and 
look as close as it can to the stock plate but has a cutout  (innie or outie?) 
for the DIN size unit. I think there is JUST enough verticle  height to pull 
this off without cutting into the dash. Polish and / or chrome  the new 
faceplate. Install Radio.....
 
Has anyone tried to do this? Is there enough room with out cutting into the  
dash?
