All I can find is that the reflective surface must be no smaller than 25 sq cm

Your tail lights are reflective and either the two single round tail lights or the rectangle tail lights will meet the 25 cm requirements. Of course there is also an option that none have installed yet: A triangle with equal sides of 12" X 1/2" with white and red reflective material on it. Often seen here in the states on some of the Amish Kit Cars.

Clois, You don't know the Australian Design Rules...they are very specific BUT very open to "interpretation". Then there is the argument with the authority about that interpretation. The signatory engineer does the arguing (and now wears the responsibility) So it's easier to comply with the written rules. Tail lamp reflectors are only good if they meet the European standard E2 (I could be corrected here) believe it or not it's connected with the United Nations agreements.

Murray, the ones from Warwick are quite discrete and minimal.

Thanks Merv, I am not running rear over-riders, so can not use flat reflectors. Have since found some Mitsubishi Triton rear reflectors with a shaped mounting face. ............fits the car " Exacto-mundo " Muz

I bought some rectrangle flexable ones from SuperCrap, they had self adhesive tape on the back.

They fell off soon after.

Hi Bruce. Yes it does not show on the message frame here and when I try to respond to the email version via your address - it bounces back? I have replied twice.

I have also sent a PM to you now as well.
