Spot on there Tim 
6 cable ties and some inginuity. I did have a steel bracket, but it wasnt very good, so I drilled a hole in the bottom of the coolant tank support, and that allowed me to get it nice and tight into where it needed to be!
And something else new
Tigerseal appears to be the way forward for mounting rear view mirrors!

Oh my good gosh, when I first seen that pic Alex, I thought there was a massive gun shot type hole in your windscreen lol
I've love the option of rain sensors, but it'll never happen.
What's next? Do tell?

LOL love it!
The rain sensor is only being put in behind the ceramic spot for now, as the windscreen isnt a rain sensor one, so it will be replaced when it breaks with a rain sensor one so I can take full advantage. Ill get all the wiring in place though so its ready!
Next is mount the new black mirror and get the wiring all sorted out
Then a few more new additions......

The mirror is all fitted Just need to complete the OEM loom for it sometime this week when the plug for it arrives
Tigerseal is a superb adhesive - its not gonna budge whatsoever!
Heres some pics! It definately looks much smarter than the beige one from before thats for sure!
Ill try get some daylight photos tomorrow when I have a chance to get it out of the workshop
