Question MOT tomorrow...help

My 04 MINI ONE has it's first MOT tomorrow morning and i'm a bit worried that it'll fail baecause i have clear rear lights with no red reflectors anywhere on the back of the car.

I have a spare pair of the circular red reflectors which are stuck to the insides of the doors, which i bought ages ago incase i ever needed to stick them on the back.

Can anyone offer me any advice as to how and where to stick them on, or indeed if it's worth bothering at all. It's gonna look awful!

Thanks

Jonny

Luck of the draw I'm afraid... Risk it and risk failing.

I reckon i may as well just stick them on, at least for a day. It's going to look atrocious

Any advice as to where exactly to put them?

I'm pretty sure that if it did fail, you get a free retest on lights, but don't quote me on it.

I'd stick them on the black trim below the bumper... avoids the possibility of paintwork damage.
