Hi all

I ordered my si4 @ end of November in Germany. Hope he will arrive around May or June 2012.
For me is the luggage space definitely to small. But nevertheless I must have the Evoque. Looks amazing and my E will be in FujiW.

Do anybody know, if the Styrofoam (hope this is the right word in English) in the underfloor space (luggage) can be removed? (see attached file or picture)
My is without spare Tyre and the Styrofoam is wasting space under the cover.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Just looked - answer is that it is not simply a case of pulling it out. Could possibly come out with the removal of a few panels but not sure what it holds together under those panels.

And if you go for the spare wheel option, the polystyrene holds the boot floor up. There is no lip for the floor to rest on.

However, when it stops raining I might have a look to see what can be done to free up some space.

I went for the spare wheel option too and am concerned at the lack of storage space, where do you store a fire extinguisher, triangle, florescent vest, first aid kit etc? I have resorted to a small container in the boot just for now. i am keen to hear about any storage solutions people develop too!

I bought an AA branded triangle on Amazon for £2.99 with free p&p, that fits exactly (without packaging) in the rectangular slot beside the spare wheel. The vest I keep on top of the spare wheel (although may keep it in front door side compartment for emergencies). Small LED Torch in glove compartment. I don't carry a fire extinguisher, but may reconsider (I believe it's std on military Evoque sales, and fitted in front?).

Great tips, I have not looked at the boot in daylight yet. I will follow your suggestions. I previously squeezed items around the spare wheel in the FFRR. There is universally less space now.........

Hi
Thank yo for your answers. I'll wait till i get mine and check if I can take it out. It looks like there is a lot of space, at least it will be enougt for my wife's shoes!!

First aid kit I managed to fit beside the relays and fuses behind the panel on the left hand side of the boot area. Bit of a squeeze but it went in OK.

Hi,

i´m also thinking about to get more space. Maybe it´s possible to cut out the material that´s not necessary inside, but keep the shape and absorption of noise.

Made the slot to the right of the spare wheel much deeper using a Chisel Knife and gas cooker Warning triangle now fits. Fire extinguishers has gone down the big space under the relays and I guess is resting on the wheel arch now (put it in a fabric sleeve). First aid kit velcroed to back of seats. Blanket and hi-vis vests under floor on spare wheel.

It would have been so much simpler if they had put a similar locker as for the relays on the right side of the boot
