I was following a modern Mini and its tail lights, albeit in red, were in the format of the Union Jack**. Or half of one mirror image per side.

The trend with LEDs is for all manner of fancy shapes front and back, but I have long wondered why VW never sought to advertise like they do with badged logos. Maybe there are differing country regulations that make it difficult to square in one design. Maybe what I saw was an after-market fillip.

But it would not be difficult to make the Audio rings, the BMW propeller, and even the Jaguar cat or MG.

Anyone seen other bizzare tail lights?

**yea yea, but it will always be a Jack to me. The British Flag, but the UNION JACK - OK? Gor blimey mate, the US have more than one nickname for the "Stars and Stripes" aka "Old Glory"
