Looks great. Where did you source the kit? Is it straight from Kahn?
RE: New member! Let the modification begin! - Smoftah - 24-09-2014 08:53am
Got the kit directly from kahn.
It was not cheap though it was just under £6,000 for the kit. As I went for the central exhaust and the larger rear spoiler which is £1,074+vat alone!
But it does increase the value of the car with kahn models adding a good premium to the price
I have just ordered some gloss black bonnet vents too!
I'm going all out on this one

I have the bonnet vents. They make a nice edition.
Will be very interested in how yours looks as I've only seen the Kahn kit on a black car and mines white like yours.
I'm also interest in the Hamman kit but the wife arch to too OTT for me.

Sorry, but IMHO, it looks absolutely ghastly.

^ what he says, never been a fan of any of Kahn's Land and Range Rover conversions, but if it's what floats your boat then I'm sure you will be happy with what you are doing to the car

I know it is not to everyone's taste, but that is why I like it as it is individual.
Just a note for anyone fitting this kit you need to buy headlight washer covers from land rover as the kit does not come with any.
Obviously if your car has headlight washer already you can use those.
I like the harmann kit too but not a fan of the wide arch look also. Will post up pics when it is done on Friday.

That's a unique looking Evoque you got there!

Is that Kahn kit unpainted? The strange color blocks looks like the car is still on primer.
Aftermarket parts never increases the value of a car - it can really only devalue a car.
RE: New member! Let the modification begin! - Smoftah - 25-09-2014 06:39pm
Yes the bumpers and the spoiler are all still in primer, it is being painted today and tomorrow and will be finished end of the day tomorrow.
Kahn evoques and Onyx Evoques actually generate a premium over the standard models. It was a £20,000 option from new on top of a standard Evoque.

Well it should look great with the Kahn kit once painted.
I have never seen someone get more for an aftermarket parted car - when they go to sell the car. But if you never intend to sell it, it shouldn't matter.
