Certainly more miles means more opportunities for clam replacement. That said, clams can be repaired (Exige is 'easier' to repair than Elise because it has a thicker clam) and do not always need to be replaced. Good fiberglass (or glass fiber [fibre?] as the brits would say) guys can do very good stuff with both Elise and Exige clams.
