Having been to the factory last week I really think they are getting into their stride. Obviously if you need the car now then don't change your order but if you can wait a couple of weeks I would say add the camera. For 2 reasons..... 1) the back window is small (both 3 and 5 door) and .... 2) the Evoque is a luxury car and it needs luxury items in it.... every time you put your car into reverse you will think ..... I glad I ordered that......I'm sure you will use it everyday.

Nar Griff deffo bumper, had my Dad stand behind the car and he was touching the bumper ect. could clearly see his hand and all the detail, don;t think it's and error but I would personally like to see it set at a slightly different angle, I'll get used to it and probably won't notice it in months to come, my pal's GL has slap bang in the middle so every thing is setup up square.

Hmm - interesting. I'll have a look at mine later and see what it looks like. the camera is to the right of the latch if I remember, maybe its a bit loose or something?

I think it's something to do with the curvature of the camera lens and the offset position of the camera?

Ok - sold have made the decision - was in the car when the Mrs reversed - no need to do any more thinking !!

@ajmooseman - my camera show a bit of the bumper as well so i guess its a design thing. Does not bother me - helps with perspective.

That camera can't be on straight! The bottom edge of the image is parallel with the lip of the bumper on mine. This would have freaked me out...!
