Can anyone furnish me with an image of the underside of an S2 Elise?

After last nights epic drive home in monsoon conditions I am curious to know what is taking the brunt of all this wet weather.

I came from a Pug 306 and the underside of the engine bay in early 306s was where Peugeot shrewdly located a number of air intakes so if you ploughed through a large enough pool of water you could really flood your engine. Clever engineering!

I think the ducts underneath are just used for cooling the engine bay. The actual engine "air intake" is on the off-side air duct near the door (on Toyota cars anyway)

You'll get water coming in over the top of the pedal box before you get it into the engine's air intake.
