Howdy all, I assumed that this were the right place to put this thread, if not then feel free to move it.

 

So I'm having my Mini sprayed Tweed grey with a white roof soon so now is probably the best time to do this modification, I'm interested in having MK1 rear lights but I'm not sure if they'll go for with the rest of the Mini as I'm having group 5 race arches from Minisport and I'm hoping to have a smooth boot lid.

So this is how my mini would hopefully look with just my standard rear lights (ignore the boot lid)



And this is a quick photoshop that Chris 1992 did for me



So it would look something like that with the Dzus clips on the bootlid as well. I'm just not sure if its worth converting to MK1 rear lights if they end up being drowned out by the arches and boot if that makes sense, would really love to hear your opinions and criticisms.

Thanks a lot, sam   

(Sorry for the huge photo's)

Sam,

 

Personally, I'm not a fan...but as everyone says make your mini your own and screw everyone else's views!   If you think it looks good - go for it!

Now I'm comparing the pictures the one with the MK1 lights looks like the rear of the car is a bit empty 

[MattMiniS96]

Keep the original number plate position and go for the mk1 lights, or move the plate and keep the mk2 lights; it looks a bit too blank with the mk1 lights and smooth lid. 

 

But ilike others have said, its your mini and if you like it you do it mate!

I like the mk1 lights :)

Not so sure on moving the license plate though

[Minisamwellen]

Yeah I think I agree, I'll still try and have an internal release boot but with the license plate still on it and I'll stick with the MK1 lights, then it doesn't look too bare

How about this, smoothed out boot lid, mark1 lights and group 5 arches oh and tweed grey paint

That's my mind made up haha, looks awesome!

[samt88]

Yeah I definitely prefer that photo! Go for it :)

It looks great just as it is, I'd only lose the boot badge.
