Default Facia advice needed please

Hi,
I have a 99 Mondeo (T), I want to replace the existing Ford head unit with a
Sony CDX-MP30.
After doing a bit of research I now know I need a fascia adaptor.
Question is, which one as most online retailers list two types for the Ford
Mondeo, FP-07-02-S and FP-07-02.
Also would it be a straight swap regarding the rear connectors as I hope to
swap the head units over myself to save a few quid and I am a total novice?

Cheers for any help you can offer :-)

Sorry, I forgot to add does the "S" variant simply stand for Silver, there
is no actual difference in size?

Thank you.

You will need a Ford to DIN wiring harness to make the swap totally
painless.

No difference apart from the colour with the adapters...

Thanks for that Tim, much appreciated. Could you (Or anyone else please)
recommend a decent online retailer to order the facia plate, wiring harness
and the actual tool to remove the head unit? I need someone trustworthy (as
I am so clueless!)and I want to get all the bits in one go.

Once again, many thanks.
