Default ford focus stereos

im new to this forum so ill start by saying hi to everyone,
ive had a look at old posts on here and on other forums about people trying to put in a double din stereo in the mk1 focus and being told that either
1, its alot of work and a waist of time because thers too much work involed
2, because the front on most of the double dins is not removeable then theres more chance that your car will be broken into to try a nick it (i can see the logic in that 1 really)
3, some people have said they have been to companies and been told its imposible
so what im asking really is i know that its to big for the hole but how many of you on here have done it?, how hard was it and whats the end result if you could i would like to see some pictures to get an idea
cheers for reading

Also IIRC the focus stereo isn't a full double DIN it's 1.8 or something?

you can get 1.5 din from pioneer, but its simply not worth it

erither get a flip up screen if its a screen your after, or, do mount a screen.

you can get blankiing plates to fill the gaps made by changing a sterio.
