C'MON REFEREE!!!!!! :lol:

the curvature of the decal matches that of the wheel ie if the decal was at the 6 o'clock position it would be the right way up.

the correct location for it is:
1. identify the spoke with LOTUS stamped on it.
2. count 2 spokes anti-clockwise and apply it there.

haven't heard that specified so firmly before, but I think Paul has done enough Elan research to know these things

Or if you can't count to 2, and don't know which way is anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise to the foreigners :D ),

Put them directly opposite the valve.

The Ruote sticker - it would actually look better if, when the Lotus logo was at the quarter past position, the Ruote Oz sticker was at the half past position ie 2 spokes clockwise from the Lotus logo

I think that's what Clemo was getting at ?
