Delete stereo in Lotus Elise/Exige


Delete stereo in Lotus Elise/Exige

Deleted the stereo and all speakers. The speakers in front have been replaced by plastic roundels and original covers. At the rears i just removed the speaker and repaced the speaker grilles. The opening in the dash has been covered by an anodized alu blind. I sourced this from a DIY store, and is very thin and fits flush in the dash edge. The operation is fully reversible.

Shortly after i replaced the center vents with Stack oil gauges.
