Colours?

I think I'm going to have to see if I can do a Halewood Home of the Legend day out sometime soon, just to see an Evoque in the flesh!

I was VERY lucky as I happened to be there when the "London Event" cars were going through. The next big production run is for the cars for the world launch - in May sometime. Liaise with the person who runs the Factory Tours she is very helpful. A very interesting and enjoyable day out - you may even be able to drive the Evoque on the off-road course in May.

Did you happen to see any green vehicles?

Yes about 3 (Colima Lime.... no dark green) , they look great.

The Lime looks like it has a lot of yellow in it, and not much green. Would that be a fair description? Is it attention grabbing or a bit ho-hum? Does it sit well with the shape of the car?

Yes I would say thats a very good description of the colour.

It's very striking - mainly because very few cars are this colour - also it does show off the lines of the car - which are themselves striking. All the Colima Lime cars were Dynamics with black roofs - if I was more daring I would go for it. It suits the car well.

I really like the style 2 pattern. Shame they are only 18". IMO the 19" wheels look the best size; the 20" look a bit under tyred.
