Again, I know those are lorry rear lights, but they look so mean and purposeful on Macca.

No, those are the lights for the Chimaera under the smoked covers.

They all got the weird spiders' eyes rear lights at some stage and looked worse for it.

I stand corrected- they are indeed Cavalier lights

Always thought this was a very clever use of somebody else's rear lights:

Being JDM cars, the FD2 & DC5 have quad round lights which kinda mimics the national flag.

Slightly biased as this is my old car, but I always loved the "Afterburner" Revision 6 pods for the Mk2 MR2.



Also can't believed these haven't been mentioned yet.

Most of my favourites have already had a mention - Maser 3200 GT, Fiat Barchetta and Lancia Thesis, another worthy addition is the Alfa Duetto mainly for their simplicity and the way they fit the car perfectly, they were also a bespoke unit which was quite rare in the 60s

What? No "A" series Opel Manta? No early Vauxhall Firenza? No '68(?) Pontiac Firebird striplights? No Ford Model A....
