Which way do the vents go on the S1 undertray?

[Lotusjez]

The undertray has started flapping about at high speeds and it has bent in the middle forcing air in and so flapping. Heard of someone fitting the tray the wrong way round so------ does the leading lip face up or down? Does the vent intake sit outside so scooping air in?
Thanks

It wouldn't fit back to front... And I think the leading lip of the tray wouldn't go in if you tried to fit it upside down!

Slit towards the front of the car, vent housing bits rise up into the car (they don't protrude).

So the front lip curves upwards then?

Yup - this is the side that faces upwards into the car:

Many thanks Skaffen- had my car for 6 years. Just needed advice from a fellow owner.
Thanks again - Jez.

If they curved downwards they'd quickly get hammered flat.

Thank goodness we're all different. I would never ever have a silver lotus. Silver or titanium is the colour of choice at the moment and every other car is this shade or that shade of silver. Fine - my S1 stands out and I'd rather be scene not herd.
