V1 install in a Lotus Elise (with remote display)

Here are some shots of my V1 installed in a Lotus Elise. I can't tell you how many times I've been told the unit is mounted backwards. I like having it near my head - makes it easier to hear it with the top off and easy to pull down in a hurry. ;)

Here's the unit as shown from the back. When I want to hide it, I simply throw a ball cap over it.

Here's the remote display near my left knee when driving.

Great looking ride and innovative install.

I currently have it fitted with a black zip tie which allows me to put it on/pull it off very easily. The power cord keeps it from moving a lot.

I'm planning on getting the bracket painted black to make the install a bit more stealthy -- then I will try some 3M Dual Lock (like an advanced velcro).

you should just cover it so u dont have to pop it down

how did you mount that? or what mount is it? any close ups?

It's mounted on a bracket specifically made for the Lotus Elise. An enthusiast on the boards had a bunch made up and sold them to other forum members and it's similar to this one. In the third photo you can see the silver bracket - it uses existing holes in the panel.

I have since painted the bracket black and I'm using 3M Dual Lock to hold it down.
