Ok, i aint really got a clue!

Its for my MR2 so can be single CD/MP3 player, Double Din unit (2xthe normal size) or one with a DVD + screen(although this will cost a fair bit, which could be spent on other things)

I need Ideas people

Yeah thats ok, expensive though isnt it?
I would reccomend an Alpine jobbie myself, best sound quality by far imo.

Imo, sony sound pony the above look nice, but the sound quality wont be good.
It depends how fussy you are really, and weather you are after features or sound quality?
