I think the tail lights on the new new Mini are far far too big, however this made me chuckle



I assume they are only like that when indicating and braking?

Thoughts? ( sorry if 6 month old news )

The size is what it is, it's not going to change now. The MINI's got bigger but then so has every other car on the road, the latest Polo dwarfs the Mk1 Golf much like all other manufacturers vehicles.

The union jack is the side light, the indicator is horizontal across the middle, and the brake light is vertical down the inboard side of the union jack.

Thoughts- It's different but people always complain that manufacturers never do anything other than turn out the same euro boxes so you can't knock them for it really.

They are not called JCW lights they are standard lights on all new MINI hatch models from March.

The light unit is no bigger than it has been since early 2014

I like them they look good. I really want to know if I can retro fit it to my current F56

Lights are so dull on cars at least MINI have made an effort. Mini is querky and I hope they carry on that way in the future as there are too many bland cars on the road.

Part numbers are hard to get hold of at the moment the dealers are not giving them out and can't see them on parts sites
