You will need an adaptor plate and wiring adaptors such as this:

You can remove them by using a hack-saw blade, minus the saw.

But the adaptor is a better idea if you want to keep the stereo & sell the car at a later date.

My pioneer double din just slotted in didn't need to modify anything.

It depends on the head unit I think, some units have additional brackets that attach to the sides.

Did the one you've fitted fit top to bottom, or was there a cage?

Mine used a cage which slipped in without touching the sides and then the unit screwed into the cage.
