Default Whats missing from my dash in the picture ?

Below the stereo theirs been a gap there ever since iv'e had the car 18 months ! Thought its time to tidy it up, what would have been there an amp or something ? Does anybody know of anywhere that does panels that fit in this space for a gauge or something ?

Hope the pic isn't too big
Thanks Simon.

Originally there would have been a seperate amp for the stereo in there!
I replaced the one in my 3 door for a pocket thing that is found in many other Sierra models.

In this pic of one of my old cars you can see what the amp looks like that should have been in there
