That CT23RO01 Rover 75 double din fascia aperture measures 172x99mm, its not quite a true 2din size. I'm sure this style fascia was designed to fit the older aftermarket Kenwood 2din units.

The universal standard 2din size is 178x100mm, the MG7 fascia seems to match this universal size HERE...

Brian, If your Pioneer unit measures 170x100mm, you will only need to shave a millimetre from either the top or bottom, then tidy up using a Dremel.








As for getting a secure fit if using one of these fascia's, you need to alternate the two side brackets or use four brackets (2x on either side).
Make use of the units body pre-drilled threaded holes and bolt to the fascia, this will stop the shallow units from pivoting.
If fitting a standard size deep DD, you can either fit the same side brackets or support the unit at the rear.
