Removable was the whole aim - both adhoc ie the screen when parking and also so there are no marks or holes on the dash etc when its removed ( I hate that ).
Thanks

Probably not an american equivalent unless your talking about engine style I personally think they look sorta like BMW's but its not really an equivalent, they are nice cars tho. Great Install! Im loving the strap down idea.

I think that was it.... any interia shots ? May be an SRI equivilent ? I'll know it when I see it because the door handles and speakers are the same - the dash is diffrent though and there a few other bits as well.

Yes but made of two halfs of the diffrent types - bad explantion but plastic loop side on the bottom to stick the unit do... soft bit at the top joining and securing it... dead simple really - only cost £2.
I'll see if I can find any pics to show it better if you want..
