Default Cage for my new stereo? - Ford Fiesta MK6

I just bought a new stereo for my 02 Fiesta Zetech (The one with the tripple deck thing which was a right royal pain to take out).
It is a two din model, but it didn't come with anything to secure it in and it has a bit of space around it, and can be pulled straight out.

Is there anything available to secure it in place and possibly hide the gap to make it look neater?

Thanks!

You need the proper fitting cage and maybe a new surround.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I already bought an adaptor thing (I'm very clued up on the technical terms) that screwed onto the front of the dash, the real problem is the fact that it just pulls straight out...is there no way of locking it in or something?

Your headunit should have a metal cage that clips onto the bit that screws onto the dash, your headunit then clips into the metal cage to stop it moving!

Ahhh I think I might have it!
The original ford radio I took out has a sort of holder thing screwed onto it, which screws onto the dash, so I'm hoping I can take it off and put it onto my new one. The screws have Torx heads though, so I need to go buy a set off screwdrivers for them

Well, the holder on the original radio doesn't fit, so back to square one :/
