My Pure Evoque - let the changes begin................

Looking well Griff

Looking good m8 is it on show tomorrow at gaydon or is it still towbar day.

Tow bar day I'm afraid misses booked it all and the guy doesn't usually work weekends and made special arrangements to et it done so can't go back on it now. Still if he's done quick enough it's only an hour and a half drive

Keep you fingers crossed he starts early then, we will be setting off just before 9AM.

Got to find a good Shell garage

No idea how long it takes to do, hopefully it won't take too long

FIRST OF THE MODS





Will keep adding as changes happen

Hi Griff, how does this door/wing trim come off, is it just pull or does it slide and pull?

Best way to do it is to have the bonnet and the door open to start with. You will then be able to get a trim tool behind the right part of the fender and prise off. You will need to use your hands on it and give it a good tug to finally get it off. Once that one is off do the same with the left one.

Tow bar fitted today. Was interesting to see how the rear bumper is all connected and of course the skid plate that I had intended pulling off seperate later for spraying. On looking at the inside you can see all plastic welds across all of the clips which would mmean that they would all break so thats out of the window will just have to spray them in situ.

No issues with wiring there is a plug connector that the trailer electrics just plug into during the installation. All tested and working fine. When the bike rack is fitted the parking sensors front and rear are automatically disabled.

Wow - the progress looks very cool so far and thanks for posting all these pictures for reference.

And when Griff449 finally put it all back together it didn't quite look the same as how he remembered it !
