one side will say 95, the other will say 98. its called a RON plug. Depending on which fuel you use (95 or 98 RON) The plug will change the ecu ignition map slightly to suit the fuel type and prevent engine pinking. So basically if you just use standard fuel (which is 95 ROM, leave it alone. If you use high octane stuff, which is 98-99 RON turn it over 
edit: heres a like that explains it in detail http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/ron_plugs/ron_plugs.htm
