The other ones are actual BA tail lights that will be available @ the end of the month.

The two round circles suits the quad-exhaust well. Perhaps if the placement of the different lights was based off the galaxie project, see how it would look then.

From the photos it seems to muck with the proportions too much for me. The standard lights have a large area at the top & the thinner strip down the bottom which these lights have reversed. Maybe it's just because thats the way I'm used to but it just looks worng to me

They don't look right. The top bit of the tail light looks out of proportion.

: IMHO, they cheapen it to look like every 2nd VT Commo that have those nasty import taillights. However, as most of those "altezza's" are prone to fill up with water, maybe some goldfish might add character!!!

I thought of the black one (without the spoiler) when I saw them would look sensational - especially the chrome version....

Hmmm not my cup of tea. Maybe they would look better in the flesh.
