Hi Franco,
Paint bubbling is quite a common problem but it usually gets fixed while the car is still under warranty. Did the problem just develop or has it always been there? I'm afraid the only thing you can do is pay to get it fixed yourself. However I doubt it's bad enough for anyone else to notice, so why not forget about about and just enjoy the car?

By the way, could you turn your caps lock off please mate, it looks like you're shouting and I had a late night.

go for Yokohama Advans - designed for the Elise

I believe the Hurricane induction kit is pretty popular.
