I think round lights would look better recessed instead of the squarish things on Hqs

I have often wondered how a set of late 90 Holden Barina or Hyundi Excel tail lights would look on a mini, you'd need a deseamed shell and if the curves matched I think would look quite neat

HQ rear lights are rectangular mounted in the bumper bar. I think that would look terrible.

Yes they are - but the Statesman ones aren't. They are diamond shaped in the body.

And I don't think they'd be that good either. But they'd look alright on a Hornet maybe.

HQ statesman are the same as h series ute panelvan and wagon, cant quite picture how they would work in a mini

if you have all the original parts for the 850 i think you should leave it as original as possible.

I have often though some curved lights (late model hatchback ones , one model Barina had similar) high up on a suitably reinfoced C pillar would look good , smooth the original location right off and mould the higher ones in .
