Hi,
I had my car in at Williams in Bristol a while back for some warranty claim work and they took pictures of the floor (without telling me). Got a call about a week ago saying the bits I had ordered had come in, so I said "didnt order any". The guy then explained that they take pictures of all S1's that come in due to their known corrosion issues, just got the car back and the floor is now spotless and shiny new, treated and no corroded spots in site, even got some new mats and metal mat holder pins.. all FOC.
Im quite impressed with the efficiency and general way they spotted this and fixed very quickly.
If only the accessories i ordered 3 weeks ago had come in yet ;-)
So if anyone else has white crappy bits under their mats, and it hasnt been treated they should do it FOC for you.

Took mine to Williams as well, they replace the floor panel with a new one every time,(said they get more money off Lotus for it) when I went on the factory tour at Hethel I mentioned it to the guide she didn't look too impressed.
