What sump guard did you get there, look like theres one.
good eyes! it's produced by an israeli-company called Rasta4x4.
i've got an entire set: Front, Engine, Tank and Rear-Diff-Protection.
The tank- and diff-protection were necessary and "used" on our tour. Main reason for that was, that the car comes down by roughly 3 cm when it is packed with aprox 350 KG luggage + driver (say 450 Kg

the exhaust got pushed up a bit, an the mech had to get it glowing to bend it back down...
in the last picture you can also see some scratches on the diff-protection.
material ist aluminium mg 2,5% (6 mm thick).
wouldn't do rally-raid-competition with those, but they are good enough for a bit offroading and pulling a trailer full of wood out of the forrest....

Execellent vid, thanks for sharing! Keep sending them, you are giving me mire ideas all the time.
Best looking Evoque so far - good to see that there's people out there believing in the product.
Where in germany did you get the Rasta plates from? I have tried to mail the manufacturer in IL a week ago with no reply as yet.

contact a guy called "Dror" at genisis tracks. i'm sure he can help you...
he frequently trades with SA, as he is the german importer for alu cab hardtops from Kennilworth (Cape Town)...

They're showing here in the UK (using Safari)

Ah, showing now! Looks good!
By the way, I made contact with Dror and waiting for him to get stock of the front bumper plate, one weak part on the Evoque I want to get rid of next.
Keep on passing on those those tips- appreciate them!
