check out eBay for cheap stereos, you can pick up mp3 palyers for about £80 on there !!!

Dunno about a bracket, but i know you need a cover / pocket to fill the space (2nd DIN area !!)

brackets you can make yourself easy enough - for the ultimate in easiness simply go to Halfords and buy a pack of stereo brackets.

They're basically a couple of strips of mecano you cut to size and screw onto the side of the stereo. You'll have to bend them with some plyers into 90deg section but a child could do it, seriously.

As for the second din pocket I echo above - simple look on e-bay. You can find MR2 specific ones, OEM or even metal fascias with MR2 engraved on them if you want to be fancy. There’s also a range of non-brand specific ones you can buy... crappy things like cup holders and some ash trays or simple blanks or cubby holes for stashing stuff.

Yea your right you do need the add ons, its about £13 for the 2 brackets, and £16 for the spacer from any toyota garage. Just make sure you get the screws for the brackets or manufacturer something. I had fun with this last week.
