I've bought a lot of stuff from SJ Sports Cars in 2012 and 2013; sometimes they're a little late with email.I did email SJ Sports Cars, and got no response at all. Anybody else want to try? -Steve

Hmmm... I've never seen a FACTORY USA 88 or 89 with the word 'Turbo' (decal or badge). Sounds like aftermarket.Hi. Thanks for the info.
Yes. There is a Decal -Silver-right above the Turbo Badge.
Hi the word ESPRIT is on top of the Badge.Hmmm... I've never seen a FACTORY USA 88 or 89 with the word 'Turbo' (decal or badge). Sounds like aftermarket.
The only OEM ID should be BADGES (not decals):
1. nose badge Lotus (lozenge or round)
2. side window badge 'Esprit' or 'Esprit SE'
3. side front fender badge 'Lotus Design'
4. rear badge 'Lotus' (above license plate)
5. side near rear side windows 'Esprit Turbo' badges(Euro version only)
Post some pictures - we really want to see what this car looks like![]()
THAT'S IT!!!:clap:There are several 89 Esprit's on the LEW owners page that feature the Esprit Turbo decal below the quarter window just behind the door about mid body high. Is this what mpesik is asking about? This might be something on Just non USA Esprit's. The service manual also calls out exact dimensions where this decal should be placed.

SJ does sell this decal in various colors including silver
These must have been fitted by a p.o as they were not installed as standard on the federal cars ( can you post or pm the vin?) highly unlikely that this was euro imported, but not impossible. I don't remember, was the speedo in miles or km's? Best bet is that is was installed by a previous owner who liked the look.THAT'S IT!!!:clap:
