Default Rear Lighting Layouts

The photos below highlight the great Sammio tradition of individual finishing touches.
I'm currently looking at various rear lighting options and hope you can help...

Reversing Lights - Has anyone fitted these?
The Spitfire has them & I think they would help with manoeuvring in London.
But I don't think there is the room for 4 items either side of the number plate.
( Indicator * Stop&Tail * Reflector * Reversing )
The red car with the black strip has 3 either side & that is the most I've seen.
So I think trying to fix another light in will make it very crowded at the back.

Rear Reflectors - I know it is a bit of an old chestnut, but I want to fit them.
However, I've seen EuropaSpares sell lights with the option of an outer reflector ring.
This avoids using tradtional reflectors, but overall the lights are bigger than 'domes'.

I'm still not sure, but if I went down this road, which do you think would look better?
- Red reflectors around both stop/tail & indicator lights
- Red reflectors around stop/tail, but an amber reflector around the indicator light

Number plate bolt LED lights - Anyone got any experience of using these?
They look like one possible way of avoiding a traditional number plate light.

At the moment this is all about research and thinking about mounting methods too.
So any other suggestions for good places to find rear lights would also be welcome.
( I have also been looking at SVC )

Cheers, Paul.
