Retro fit a series one centre and the world is your oyster. It all fits.
Just reverse fit according to the S1-S2 "upgrade."

has anyone done this? if so what parts are needed to go from S2 to S1? I wanna get rid of the KAYHAN units that's install as its really hard to see the the screen and the unit is generally pissing me off.

Personally I think retro fitting a series I head unit into a series II vehicle is a massive step backwards.
Is there a reason why you don't like the units in the series II?

Aerpro were supposed to be releasing a Series II facia kit but doesn't appear it is available as yet.

Why? You will be able to bring sat nav, total wireless interfaces, better camera options (such as forward camera) Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. Access to modern apps like Google Maps, Spotify, or things like Podcasts.

By going back one model, you can fit the car with a simple option that brings updatable technology to the vehicle instead of outdated clunky limited options.

I have a crate with the series one panels and bits.

I can take a photo of everything laid out. Not today though.

Dash spears, centre trim, top speaker/vent panel. The S1 vent pipe. Off the top of my head. The S1 headunit cradle (goes behind the facing trims)

Then a Aerpro facia kit with either dual or single zone HVAC.

CarPlay/Android Auto head unit.

Handy extra is a 2m USB3.0 port that goes from the back of the head unit to the centre console bin. Then you can plug in your phone and hello modern world.
