Forum Virgin. And just ordered!

I can definitely recommend looking for a set of OEM bonnet vents, sanding them flat, and using 3M tape to affix them in the correct position. Yes, it looks slightly raised compared to the coupe bonnet but about a year on and mine haven't budged and I've had a couple of others with evoques asking how I got genuine bonnet vents for a 5-door.

Hi Nikk.
Where abouts in Cheshire do you live? Wouldn't mind seeing your car in the flesh!!

Going to leave the bonnet thing alone. I think it will have enough detail with the blackpack as it is. But thank for all your suggestions!

Hi Simon,

I live in Winsford Cheshire but work out of Knutsford Cheshire. Happy for you to see it once it finally arrives although I have gone for the very basic model compared to most!

I have been told end of November now ... but subject to change! Had a nightmare over the phone as I went through the broker not dealer and they won't give me my VIN and I have a friend who works in the factory who was going to see where my order was up to! Something to do with data protection which I think is rubbish as surely that's my data! Its 15 weeks since I ordered and I was told a maximum of 16 weeks.

Anyway, sure it'll arrive soon!

Exactly what I ordered and is due in the dealership next week!

Ohhh that is exciting Ian I bet you can't wait! When did you place your order if you don't mind me asking? My friend who works in Halewood said they make 1000 a day I couldn't quite believe it!
Hoping mine also comes next week after the update I last got

They make 1000 a day but 800 a day get shipped overseas, mostly to China but now LR has a factory that builds them in China from kits supplied from the UK hopefully a few more will become available to the UK market.

Nikk.
I live in Weaverham nr Northwich. But am in Knutsford most days. (My mother is in a home there!!). So would be great to meet up and see your car once you have taken delivery!

Tim.
I am astounded that they turn out 1000 cars per day. I hope they take their time when building mine!! Lol

Simon, I'm only quoting an previous poster, I too find it hard to believe but 3 shifts a day, 2 factories working 5 days a week (might even be 7 days a week now) and several production lines in each factory............... IIRC Fords at Dagenham some years ago had a car roll off the production line every 20 secs or so in the 1970's

Hi Simon not sure if you seen my post on my own thread but I got a refund from the car broker and bought a 13 plate evoque on Thursday and had it delivered on Friday as they pushed me back once again and literally couldn't give me a date anymore. The wait time for a brand new one was too much to go through after already waiting 17 weeks so I have got everything the same as I ordered apart from Orkney grey and not corris! I also have the added bonus of a panoramic roof and privacy glass and a saving of £6k on top of that! The company I bought from couldn't do enough for me (found it on autotrader) and I ended up with free delivery (should be £100) as they are 250 miles from me, free 12 months tax, 2 year land rover warranty and a big bouquet of flowers so I am very happy! Sorry it's not corris grey after all now but I got my cream interior still

Nikk. Sorry I am late replying but been very busy as of late. Lost my mother week before Xmas!!
But hope you are pleased with the car. Sounds like everything turned out ok in the end!

Anyway. Called in dealership today, to be told the build date is 6th February. Could collect later in the month but decided on a handover for 1st March!

Also negotiated front and rear mudflaps, and rubber mats on top of the GAP insurance as freebies. So all in all a happy bunny!
Oh. And I saw a Corris grey dynamic for the first time while there. It is stunning. Especially with black pack!!
