putting brake back together, help!

I am reassembling my brakes after painting my calipers, I wasnt smart and did not write which caliper came from which side. Now the calipers have R and L stamped in them, are they referring to the view from in front of the car looking at the nose, or from inside the car?

Also if anyone has pics of their brakes without the wheels on I would really appreciate you posting them.

thanks

I think you would know if you installed them incorrectly, it would not sit right and you'd have problems putting eveything back together. look up a few pics of peoples calipers (installed) and use it as a refference. There should be a few floating around (search)

easiest way = bleed nipple has to be at the top, if you reversed them it would be on the bottom
