the espero was also given an 'automatic' badge at the boot lid for those which had an automatic transmission or (some) a 'twin cam 16v' badge on the 1.5 glxi models. also, there was option stickers at the back of the window in white writing ('abs' for example). the dealer plates had the writing 'daewoo' in a black background with the phone number, a black line going through either side with the number plate id under the number plate. in the uk, the espero was not sold with a third brake light, a spoiler with a third brake light nor the three-spoke steering wheel.
