dunno, i think plastic trunking has end caps (B&Q) or a short length of 1"x1" ally angle across the ends would tidy it up/cover the holes.

I thought two strips of polished and varnished hardwood could look better than shiny aluminium and wouldnt need endcaps!

and B&Q sell em



ive bought a 5" motorised screen all singing all dancing dvd/usb/single DIN unit and a transit facia adaptor

i thought the 7" would be a bit too much maybe

The adaptor lead kits normally come with an extension for the aerial plug.
