Default Rear lights just on the rear tub?

Has anyone done this?
Im thinking it might look quite good to have your rear arches bare, and then all 3 lights in a vertical line on the rear tub, Im going to be using NAS landrover lights, was thinking on the Offside, Indicator, Stop/tail then Fog
And one nearside the same but with a reverse light instead of a fog light?
What do you think?

The question is whether the lights will be close enough to the edge of the car to meet the regs, have you checked in the IVA manual?

Try the picture below Jason, you'll just get them within 400mm of the outer edge of the car and get them on the flat of the rear panel. Not sure how they would look though, maybe try photoshop on the pic and see how they look.

The wings are 300 odd millymetricments wide so I would have thought the lights will end up needing to be sat right on the radius of the rear panel.

Cheers for the replies guys!
I do quite like them Mark, but I lack the ability to mould them into the rear like that i think?
Spud, how did you get your foglight close enough to the stop lights?
And does anyone know if they are measured edge to edge, or centre to centre?
Cheers guys, Jas

If you can find pics of the new westfield sport turbo you might find your answer there.
