My creation

That looks bloody sweet mate

I've done exactly the same in mine as dave but found I had to chop out quite a lot of the dash in perticular the pipework for the screen vents! Also I had to chop out a bit of bulk head behind the dash! Dont have any pics atm but could get them at the weekend when im back at the lockup.

The only other problem I've found is matching the colour of the modified part to the rest of the dash but I'm planning to get that flocked or something!

Thats what i found with mine, i tried to fit a stereo and found it hit alot of pipework and also the structure of the dash, deciding not to chop my dashboard up and lose the windscreen de-misters i just chucked it in the garage and its sat there since about 2008 , i painted that in Rover Hurricane grey and it came out okay, jsut took hours ot fibreglass, filler and sanding

Would never fit it back in now though, once you fit an XE you dont need TV

Dont think matching the colour would be that hard really its matching the texture to make it look original!

Didnt loose the demisters completly but I did restrict the pipe quite alot on the drivers side!

2008 would be about when I parked mine up since too!

As promised some pics of my dash!

Heres the bit I chopped out the bulkhead!



And the screen itself! Couldnt show it working because its not wired up!

The finish is a bit rough but its all gonna get wrapped when I put the dash back in!
