Just purchased my Evoque, need recommendations - djbready - 24-04-2013 02:57pm
I just purchased a Orkney Grey Dynamic package that is currently getting shipped to me which I'm pretty excited about.
I would like to wrap my Orkney Grey in all Black. And need recommendations and suggestions on which parts should be painted black.
My list so far is:
'Range Rover' lettering (front/back)
Front Grey bumper
Back Grey bumper
Rims
What am i missing? What else can i paint black? Also, has anyone ever seen this style of rims painted black? If it wouldnt look good, should i just buy new rims?
(I've attached some stock pics from the dealer)
Thanks for the help!

I don't have experience of wrapping but if it was me I'd leave the front and rear 'bull bars' silver to contrast against the black wrap on the car.
Think you need bigger rims.
Nice project, good luck.

I kind of wanted to match Beckhams special edition because i really like how that looks.
Does anyone know the style of these 2013 rims? Would these rims be a fair straight across trade for the 20" rims? how much extra would i have to add for that trade?

So you want to have the black trim rather than the whole car.
Ok - here's some info

I think they are exclusive to the special edition.

And to get a set of them you will need the VIN of a Beckham Edition as LR Accessories will not sell them to you or a dealer without that important number. It's the same with a lot of LR special Editions, but even some standard cars they will demand a VIN before releasing the bits - I wanted a full length rubber mat for my Freelander1, the same on as was standard in the Freelander Commercial......... Cannot do said LR as your car isn't a Commercial please supply us with the correct VIN for a commercial and we'll despatch one to you! Same with the honeycomb grille of the original RRS HST, to get a grille it had to be for a damaged HST.........VIN please. It was surprising how many RRS HST grilles fell off a handful of RRS HST's that were dealer demo cars!

Well, the rims didnt need to be exact, but thanks anyways.
What about the items i want to paint? anything else i should add to the list?
Also, i noticed that the Beckham edition had different head and tail lights? Can i only buy them from LR? Can i 'smoke' them?

you won't be able to purchase any of the VB edition parts.
they are all strictly ordered to VIN number and cannot be released with out this.

YOu can buy the lights but much more cost effective to just have them tinted by a reputable window tinter. Also note the fog lights are tinted on the black pack.

yea, i wasn't looking to buy actual parts from the VB edition except maybe the taillights and headlights, but most likely i will have them tinted like you alluded
should i go to 22 inch rims? or go up to 20 inch? any recomendations on brands? do RRS rims fit evoque? ive seen conflicting reports on theforum
RE: Just purchased my Evoque, need recommendations - XFullFatTim - 25-04-2013 04:33pm
RRS hubs are different to Evoque's, we have Freelander2 hubs so RRS wheels don't fit the stud pattern. If you are prepared to write-off your transmission /drive train warranty by all means fit bigger than LR approved wheels, a few on the forum have, but do keep your original wheels and ensure that when servicing time comes round you swap them back onto the car otherwise the service agent is bound by LR to report non-OEM bigger wheels in case of claims under warranty. The car's steering system is not designed to carry bigger than 20" wheels/tyres
