Solutions so far:-
1. A laser guide of the kind usually sold for helping people to know when to stop (forward/back positioning) could also help with left-right positioning. Maybe if you had one of the dual ones (designed for double garages) and pointed both beams out through the garage door you would have two chances to get your car centred as you approached.
2. Mirrors on the far wall might be a substitute for the folded mirrors for reversing, but I reckon that will still be too difficult a manoeuvre to perform on a daily basis. Anyone tried this? Let me know if it's workable.
3. Rubber guide rails that would work like railway tracks to ensure car wheels could only follow one path within the garage. Although not designed for this purpose, the Kerbstopper product from hazard.co.uk might be suitable for this.
4. The best solution yet, a product from Italian company Parkino that simply loads your car in and out of the garage for you. Anyone know if this is sold in the UK?

Found a german product that looks similar to Parkino, however the PDF says it won't work for 4WD, so maybe Parkino won't work either?

The german product also caters for a maximum tyre track width of 185cm, which also rules out the Evoque - I assume it's track width (measured to outsides not centres of tyres) is 1965mm.
