The boot-bag waterproof luggage holdall sits on a non slip mat to protect your cars paintwork and attaches with 5 straps. The longer strap is threaded through the engine bag and behind the hinges, this takes most of the force and is secured to metal not fibreglass. 4 other straps then attach two the wheel arches on either side on your Elise and two to the rear valance area. Boot-bag fits S1,S2 & S3 Lotus Elise's. We have been selling boot-bags since 2008 and never heard of any paint damage to an Elise, the straps won't move when attached and pulled tight.
Why a boot-bag instead of a traditional rack for your Elise.
