Russ there are a few bits I see every now and again I'd like:

front splitter
change of exhaust (larini probably)
and a leather re-cover of the gearstick housing - a nice and pretty and nothing more but I hate that plasticky bit

Nice one Russ, what are the symptoms of the corrosion?
I don't know if mines been done or not but I presume the resistor stops working and the fan either doesn't work at all or only works on full?

Thats about it Mark, mine went intermitent then stopped totally.

Im not sure when or even if Lotus changed the layout on later
Elise's or Exige's.

How do you avoid water ingress down between the slats in the
clamshell

I guess you don't, you either move the resistor or waterproof it - mines an 05 so it will have had the problem or be about to I guess, I'll just have to wait and see (but will be doing it myself if it does go).

The fan either stops working or stinks of burnt electrical bits. Mine did a bit of both before it went.
