Is there any newer models that have a removable LCD screen bezel that will fit the Puma?

Will be very thankfull for all help I get.
I had a lilleput screen added earlier but it looks to aftermerked.
I like to get a bracket that fits look better.

Is it likely this will fit?

That bottom photo won't fit the puma, its from the mk6 fiesta so its a completely different dash.
Most LCD screens are double din unfortunately, don't think I've seen a 1.5 din one (which is what the puma is). I think the only way you can do it is to fabricate something yourself from fibreglass, ie make a whole new heater panel. Wouldn't be easy, but its do-able. That is unless you want a flip out screen, then you can look on ebay, theres a few different stereo adapters to choose from. I think this one looks quite nice, has a little storage tray underneath: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150631502960" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Bear in mind though it doesn't come with all the bits you need. I bought this one for mine: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160674513425" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
 
Thanks for your replay,

Here is a picture of my screen before.
Now its just a empty whole.
I am thinking, If I use clay and seal it will it work?
Or shuld I used it just to make a model and add fiberglass ?

I want the screen to be closer to the driver 3cm out.
plan is to build out.
 
First thing I'm thinking is, get an old ford CD/tape unit, remove all the insides. Then you have an empty shell which will fit in perfectly and you can use it as a base. Then, fill in all the holes on the ford units facia, and fibreglass over it. Then you can either screw the screen to the facia, or you can make a hole in the facia and attach a pole type holder inside the empty CD unit, which you could then cut to length, attach the LCD to the end of it, and have it sticking out as far as you like.

Its just the first thing I thought of but I think it'll give you what you want and look relatively clean for not too much effort.
 
That was a great idea, It would have been very stable. and easy to remove.
I have however bracket on the side where I mounted the screen.
I was able to change place on the heating panel , So now I suddenly have
17,5cm x 20,5cm. Still hoping there was an adapter from a ford that would fit this large room I now have.
