Consumer Electronics.
It's a certification thing...

Realistically opening the door you don't really touch the paint except perhaps the edge of your thumb when you press the button , underneath has a plastic piece to grasp.

You may be right. But years back I had a VW cabriolet and the body colored paint under the door handles would get scratched and scuffed up on them. There were after market solutions to deal with this issue. Only finger tips / nails could possibly touch the area. On an Elise I wonder if it's a total nonissue or whether it could be an area of concern.

For some VWs they make cups that fit under the door handles, while stongard shields offer door handle pieces in some of their kits.

Not just electronics...my Oakley sunglasses were CE. After getting several nifty items which all were labeled CE, I decided that it stood for "cool equipment".

Do all the Elises have the 'e' in the rear window ?

"The initials "CE" do not stand for any specific words but are a declaration by the manufacturer that his product meets the requirements of the applicable European Directive(s)."

Gromit, the US elises have it in the rear window, the UK and ROW elises have it on the side opposite the fuel tank, ie the buttress.

Engine Cover

Having viewed a early Fed prototype, I wondered how the rain stays off the engine. I saw no deflector or collection tray through the cooling slats. It appears the production model is the same way. It looks like rain would enter the engine bay from all angles. Of course you could consider it as a natural cleansing mechanism. Anyone got any clues on this?

Ardent Red, LSS, Biscuit- That's my car!

Do all Federal cars have the front mud flaps or are they a DIO? Also, it appears there is no "redline" indicator on the tach- can someone comment? Not that I would EVER get near redline...

They all come with the black flaps behind front wheels.

From memory the red shift light (same light as the activated alarm llight) come on I can't remember if it comes on at redline or before, I guess I really need to look at the manual again>
