Car radio question?

Giruilla

Hi,
i just bought a car radio for a Fiat Seicento off a friend. I'm talking here about just the cover thing tat you clip in place, not the whole back panel part. Would anybody know what price these would normally sell at, because i got it of him for free and want to give him a bit of cash for it? i couldn't find where to but them on the interweb so i don't know what price they normally go for?
Also, should one take these radio covers off before leaving the car parked somewhere? are they prone to getting nicked?

Most definitely...not sure what the front of the radio would cost? What model is it? Is it just the standard Blaupunkt that you get with the Seicentos? If so I wouldn't imagine any more than €20 as a thank you gesture.

5500

Why did you get just the front plate off him?you realise there not interchangeable with different radios so to speak?

Most definitly take it off with you too,even if its a non expensive radio,once a thief sees its a cd player he'l know he can get a few quid for it

he had a seicento too, i just got his cover off him cause he's ugrading to a cd player. Mines just a tape recorder. You sure 20€ would be enough?

Are you sure his cover will work with your unit?

I've already tried it and it works! What do you think?

I reckon a second hand tape unit is worth about 30 quid, therefore the cover is worth about a tenner. its not much good to him anyway
