Changes to the production Elise by VIN-DATE

This thread will document all the changes we can identify, that have been made to the Elise since the first production cars were delivered to the US.

My plan is to spend more time later making a nice table, but for right now, to focus on gathering data. This will require help from everyone, specially in determining VINs. We can also, where we know, add in some approximate dates.

Please add to this list- we can categorize or collate it later.

First car delivered. Date. VIN.

Deletion of locking lug bolt and tool for rims.

Sport Pack rims changed to painted instead of anodized.

Rear Diffuser design changed. Added dimples for diffuser bolts to cross member.

Exhaust heat shield design change?

Deletion of second oil cooler on non-LSS cars

A/C fix, relocation of temp sensor.

Addition of wiring harness for running lights.

Removal of plastic plug on engine hood (where old antenna went)

Shift knob size and added a set screw

Finish change on gas door

Removed retaining strap for gas cap.
