The Lotus Elise/Exige platform has held true to the Lotus motto, “Simplify, then add lightness”. The Elise/Exige are very minimalistic and contain very few features that aren’t necessities for driving. Despite this, many Lotus owners are still constantly searching for ways to simplify their cars further and add more lightness.
One option for Lotus Elise/Exige owners who would like to pull a few pounds out of their car is to delete their radio. Deleting your stereo isn’t too difficult; however, once your radio has been deleted, you’re left with an ugly hole in your dash that looks incomplete… Fear not, there is a solution.
A few Lotus owners have discovered that a small storage compartment from the 996 generation Porsches works perfectly for covering the ugly hole after deleting your radio. These Porsche storage compartments can be found by searching for the part number: 996-552-253-01-01C. The storage compartment slides right into the old radio slot and turns it into a storage compartment with a more refined look. We’ve already installed one in our InoKinetic Lotus Outlaw car and are very happy with the results.
