That is in fact, how you adjust the rack for bump steer - which should only be needed if you significantly lower the car. New plates are available from Lotus - you remove the bolts, drill out the single rivet (which is only there to position the plate) and remove the plate. The new plate is then riveted in place - it will have the holes positioned differently (there is a selection of plates). Then you reinstall the bolts and torque things down. It's all in the manual.
