Elise floor corrosion.
Discussion
I've recently purchased a '99 S1. This morning lifted the floor mats to clean and found the dreaded floor corrosion.
Possibly I should have spotted this when I inspected it, as I knew it was a known issue, but its not easy to ask if you can rip up the (glued) pvc carpets on someone's pride & joy.
Fortunately the floor isn't holed, but it is awfully pitted. Have cleaned and scrubbed it to get rid of the white powder, and am now wondering what to do next.
Obviously the car is now out of its 8-year corrosion warranty (by 9 months), so does anyone know how much a dealer would charge for the floor corrosion treatment Lotus offered (fitting of secondary panels), or even if Lotus might still pay for this as a gesture of goodwill etc.
Anybody have any experience of this??
Many Thanks.
