Will a 7" Touchscreen fit where the original headdeck/Cigarette section is?

Hey guys. Im just wondering wether a 7" touch screen will fit in this section. I am NOT talking about a Flip out monitor, i am talking about a touch screen unit. If you remove the standard headunit/tray and lighter, is there enough room to fit one in? And if by chance, if there are any pics of this PLEASE post them up. Thanks.

I have my 7" screen sitting inside where the original tape deck sits. I had to take the dimister control button off otherwise it would hit that but I don't use it anyways. but otherwise it's fine. I'll get some pics up later on if you like.

Yeah mate if you could throw some pics up that would be a huge help. I've got a double din 6.5" screen but just seeing if 7" like most are do fit in there. Cheers for the link K3GGY.

yea i had trouble with my fold out but with a small amount of modification its now in place and nice (build still underway however... gotta get off me ass) but ive seen some good 7-9inch screen conversions for the center console. a few are very custom though... of ur just going to remove the head unit and ash tray just give it a measure to get a rough idea. if ur way off then u clearly have no chance but if its close. it can be modified.
