radio delete plate
« on: January 16, 2024, 19:22:32 »
Hi all, can someone tell me the size of the radio delete plate. I am looking at buying one,  but the one I am looking at seem quite big. Its for a 280sl. If someone has a picture of one installed in their car that would also be great. Thanks

Many thanks, I looked on their Web site and could not find any measurements. Beginning to think old age is starting to come to fast
