Information on extra "Packs"

Wow , I'd feel right at home.....not seen one here in Germany yet, although saying that I never saw a Zanzibar Evoque here in Germany during my ownership. First one was seen last week driving around town.

BTW has anyone noticed how popular Kaikura Stone is becoming? In this area there are several owners who had Fuji or Firenze who I now see driving around in Kaikura Stone 2015MY Evoques, whenever I go to the local garden centre there seems to be a corner reserved for them!

Tim, could this be a case of say...think of a yellow VW bug, then you will see several of them the following few days JK, but it does work, I'll think about a particular vehicle and see tons of them the same day!

seen 3 Kaikora in the last few days and I wasn't thinking about them

Just looked at the configurator (to check the spelling of Kaikora!!!) that MY2016 looks a bit odd now, hopefully the real thing looks better! I think it's the wide vents that stand out too much on the lighter colours.

Also interesting how it looks better with LED headlights, and has no washers in the front bumper (a requirement of Xenons).

Phil, on the darker coloured cars you can hardly see the cover flaps for the washers. My Corris RRS is the same, hardly see them but I saw a Yulong White RRS Autobiograpghy today and they were really noticable on that.

Hi Tim, on the configurator image the jet holes actually disappear off the image when you select the LED Option rather than the Standard Xenon. I wonder because LED's don't legally require washers that they have removed them (for cost, even though LED are £1000 option!!!) but then wonder are there headlight washers on LED as all, as in the winter with salty spray and on muddy roads washers are very useful on long journeys, and surely a Land Rover and mud should be synonymous!

I had a black contrasting roof on my Evoque but on my RRS, I've intentionally gone for a body coloured roof, I like the floating effect. Both work for me, what doesn't is a contrasting roof of a different colour, for example, blue car with a silver roof.

As for packs, important to know that ones which alter the model name (for example Lux) may get slightly better trade-in than individually picked options. When I sold my Evoque, only the glass roof mattered. Everything else counted for nothing towards resale. Sadly, the whole options thing is a mug's game. High margin to buy, minimal if any resale value.

It also includes tinted headlights and fog lights with darkened inner parts and clear rear lights. AFAIK it also includes the rear lip spoiler which was removed from the standard Dynamic spec.

The configurations page on LR website no longer shows the spoiler lip at part of the black pack in fact it would appear that it's been removed from the system.
