It is a good fit and, as you said, the colour and illumination is not 100% but close enough for me given the capabilities. The pop of the speakers quickly got to me so out with the Bose amp and in with a Blaupunkt THA 555 5 channel amp. I'm keeping the Bose wiring currently but will change out the rear shelf speakers for some coaxial speakers, bin the rear door speakers and add a sub firing through the ski hatch, (thanks for MJ's help and advice). Photos to follow.

Amp is in and wired up. Very happy with the sound.

Definitely one of the tidier installs I've seen.
Where did you get the fabric for the backing from? Looks like a very close match to OEM

It's off eBay.

Also decided to replace the parcel shelf subs with a JL Audio unit in the boot and fitted a pair of Rockford Fosgate duos instead.
