You prob need something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Double-Din-Frame-Trim-Surround-118x188mm-/250551942237?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3a560f3c5d

Either that or I think Porthos on here just cut up and old DVD Case and trimmed it to size

that's exactly the ebay item i used to fill the gap on mine. i think i'm correct in saying Porthos used an old VCR tape and some DIY

As previously said, you can buy one from ebay, or make your own if you are feeling competent.

Here is mine that I made from a black VHS case around my old unit (Jurrasic Park, lol)

Just measure up and cut one out, just be accurate and take your time with a really sharp craft blade.

The finish is very flush and looks OEM. It's held in with some double sided sticky foam tape.

Otherwise just buy one

Depends on your head unit, fits perfect but I did had to file the bottom of it a little bit

^^ ha ha...

Yes, the best way is to make your own, the trouble is that not all units fit exactly the same, so a custom surround wont exactly fit another stereo, this is why the bought ones have a gap, to account for the slight differences in dimensions.

Easy to make your own, literally make some templates from card (cereal boxes) and keep making one until it's a perfect fit, then use that as a template to cut a plastic one out, I used a VHS case and sprayed it Matt Black
