Can't decide. But I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of sticking them on 'in reverse' so that after drivng the car for a while, when you step out, you'll have a LOTUS indentation spelled correctly across your back :-)

Not for me either, but perhaps smaller lettering may work and certainly a different colour.

Bit of boy-racer, IMO, especially in ORANGE . And why orange with the turquoise and lavender upholstery is beyond me. The idea of cloth inserts and color-coordinated "Lotus" embroidery could be OK, especially of the embroidery follows the original embossing.

Each to their own - after all, It's your car -

but you won't see it on either of mine.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
