RE: I've been a naughty boy.

Was parked at the supermarket this evening and came out loaded down with comestibles to find it chucking down with rain and another Evoque parked next to mine with people sat in it waiting for the rain to go off........... clicked the remote release threw the shopping bags in the boot, pressed the closed button and was about to dive into the car when the folks in the car next door rolled down a window and said they wished they had specced the option ......... and I got soaked while they commented. £185 well spent I think, and it's probably the optional extra I use more than any other.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

......and so much more inclined to throw things in the boot rather than on the back seat with this option. Wouldn't be without it now.

Space once in yes, but not to get in/out. If you need to use the back with any sort of frequency then it would have to be the 5dr.
I'll agree with you on the style though. The 3dr does look better.

RE: I've been a naughty boy.

After much thought, I have decided to stick with the current evoque and change the alloys to the 20" gloss black, seen a set in the showroom today which caught my eye but I also like the Fuji white ones. Thoughts appreciated guys.

Get yours redone in black at a fraction of the cost (getting my style 6's done in gloss black for £240, including tyre removal, refit and rebalance), or go with some aftermarket ones which would also be cheaper, and you will have a much bigger choice.

RE: I've been a naughty boy.

Whites would not look right on a white car, OK on a boy racer Firenze though, especially one with a white contrast roof!

RE: I've been a naughty boy.

Thanks guys, I think your right Tim the white would be overkill. Black it is then.

RE: I've been a naughty boy.

I'll tell you what the Evoque has done to us all.

It's made us indecisive, so many options.

I'm determined to keep mine for 5 years, but I saw a Fuji Dynamic today with contrast Black roof, lovely and if a V6 petrol auto sees the light of day I'm going to find myself visiting a dealer begging for one.

Evoque No3: MY15 Dynamic Lux SD4, Auto, Santorini Black, Pimento Dynamic Plus Sports Seats, Ebony headlining, Pan Roof, Shadow Chrome Alloys.
