underfloor space, remove styrofoam for more Luggage Space

I checked and the bracket is not available as a separate part from Land Rover.

It would be great if someone who has the original Land Rover product could post suitable dimensions (or maybe even a pattern) for the seat bracket as I think it would be fairly easy to make one. I certainly don't see the point in paying close to £80 for the one with a LR badge on when the same is available (less the bracket) for £23 on Amazon.

oh my
I would have rathered more storage than that spare wheel which is somewhat useless as my stock wheels are much larger.

Those of you who are putting your hi-vis vest under the boot floor should note that in France (and possibly other countries) the vest MUST be reachable by the driver from his seat.

I love my Evoque. It provides a very comfortable commute to work every day. The boot's capacity is fine for day to day use but insufficient for the trips away with the family. I had considered a roof box but then I thought about utilising the underfloor space..

I've removed the polystyrene from the underfloor area and this has provided a greatly increased luggage volume. I can certainly fit a twin pushchair and plenty of other gear.

One negative is that there are several exposed wiring looms in the area - see photo.    

The plastic trim along the lower boot lid aperture had to be removed - a little tricky to do. Several of the plastic clips were broken in the process but these are available from ebay.

I hope the above is useful..

Update: Just returned from two weeks holiday in France with my family in the Evoque - we got almost everything in the increased capacity boot. I estimate there is an extra 130 litres in this area.
