that a decal is affixed to the replacement part.

Warm soapy water is the best as some cleaning agents
leave an oily film which may prevent the decal adhering.
2. Remove/fold back a small portion of the backing and affix
the exposed portion of the decal in the desired position.
3. Peel back the remaining backing paper from under the
decal and smooth down the decal with a rag, working
any bubbles towards the edge of the decal.

pin and smoothed down.
