Foot well / Floor pan corrosion.
Discussion
Hello,
I'm in the process of replacing the standard fit plastic floor mats with some after market items on my 02 plate S2 Elise.
There is some slight corrosion(very light surface pitting) where it's obvious water has been trapped between mat and alloy. Should I get a flap on about this?
I seem to recall this was a problem on early cars.
It's in no way excessive, but what can I do to prevent it getting any worse?

If it's not bad at all, just give it a good scrub up with some water and a very stiff scrubbing brush to remove all of the actual powdery residue etc. Then give the floorpans a spray/wipedown with some ACF50 and put your new mats in over the top. Just remember to remove your mats whenever they've gotten wet to allow it to breathe a bit. Reapply the ACF50 every 2-3 years and it'll never get any worse
