You were doing so well on this car and then you messed it up with those stupid coilovers. You just wiped out a huge chunk of the buying market. All the same: Happy Christmas
Do you think practically anyone who buys an Evoque knows what ride height even is/cares? Also, I don't think this channel would last long if he WASN'T doing things a bit differently... just my two cents on it.
@@AdrianTechs Clearly I do or I wouldn't have written the comment. But you then raise a very different point: Channel content. To which I would say he needs to find thousands of new subs, views and likes to fund the loss of value on a pretty exclusive car. He has already faked what it is. But its his money and he is free to lose it as he chooses.
Be fine once you chuck some paint on it and blend out into the rear door, Shame I’m not in the trade anymore & have moved down to Cornwall otherwise I’d have offered my paint skills, also get axle stands under it rather than trusting the jack! Scares the hell outta me! Hope you’re keeping well.. Merry Christmas & have a Happy New Year!
Cheers bud! Hope Cornwall is treating you well! That’s a shame- never got for experience your skills. Axel stand did go under after wd40 sprayed - you can see it at 9:27. Don’t fancy 1.6 tons falling on me either 👍. Merry Christmas & Happy New year!
I've very much enjoyed watching the channel this year mate, great content. What's on the cards next? Any don't tell us you've not been looking...... Can't just be me that's looking for clues in the videos!
Thank you Rob 👍 Defo have something new coming in the next few weeks. Probs not as impressive as the others (as buying a house so need funds). Stay tuned 🙌🏽
Read some of the other comments 1st so was very skeptical on how it was going to look. Personally I think it looks awesome. You will have no trouble selling it. Have a great rest of Christmas and enjoy New Year Bruv.
Enjoy the rest of the Christmas break. Looks amazing, when you discovered how bad the damage was and it failed to pull the inner wing back on your drive, it must have been heart stopping!! You kept going and respect, ignore all the people who say why lower it, like it will ever do serious off roading, (more likely to go in the back of an AA truck!! 🤣🤣), that’s not a dig at your work just range rovers. Great work man. Look forward to the next one.
Thank you for the positive comments 👍. It’s certainly come a long way since that moment. I’m happy with where it is and it’s staying within the family too.
Followed from day one having an evoque myself and interesting what you did from looked like a bit of a train wreck- but great job to you and your buddy
Good work on the Evoque which has turned out very nice, considering the work and effort you put into your vids, I’m still surprised you haven’t reached at least a 100k subscribers. Maybe 2021 is the year it will happen, keep up the good work and have a merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas 🎄 This build has been very enjoyable to watch, totally bummed its gonna be over in the next episode. Looking sharp- all it needs is tint(s) and a new buyer🤟🏻 Whats the next project i wonder🤷🏼
I've recently got the same side steps for my dynamic and spent 8 hours trying to fit them. Looks like my brackets are faulty as I have no space to slide the steps into the bracket to bolt them on. Did yours fit straight onto the brackets with no problems?
@@MattyH-jz2im oh you should be good for dynamic ones then. Mine just bolted right up (make sure you have brackets the correct way round) and remove the black plastic side skirt/trim thing when doing it. Should be a 30 min job each side 👍

Really enjoy this channel Sam been here since the start. Huge respect for taking on these projects and motivated me to look into buying one of my own. Out of interest are you self taught? And what camera do you use? Cheers, Ryan.
Hi Ryan, thanks for the comments- appreciate it! I am self taught- I have no experience (which I’m sure comes across), do not work in the trade. I have a desk in the banking industry! If I can tackle this, you can too bud 👍. I’m just using an iPhone and changed the settings to 4K 30 FPS. Seems to be ok 👍.
@@SLRebuilt Really appreciate the reply your doing more than alright for being self taught 👌 I've not got any real experience either but started doing bits here and there on my own cars. Looking forward to what you go for next and hope the channel continues to grow 👍
@12.28 you say because you fitted 20" wheels, the ride height is higher than the 18" wheels fitted before........no, you've missed the fact that the 20" tyres should have a lower profile and end up with the same overall diameter to ensure the Speedo still reads correctly and the ride height isn't therefore affected at all.
Hi Sam, I just tried to fit my side steps to my Evoque Pure with Dynamic body kit (like yours). Spent 3 hours today until realised they wont fit 😡 Did you get the Pure side steps or the Dynamic side steps? I got the Pure and the mounts are not low enough, meaning I don't have enough clearance between the bottom of the Dynamic side skirts and the side step. I have to return them now. But it would be great if you could confirm which side steps you got (Pure or Dynamic) and do you recall where you bought them? Mine were from Fastlane Styling. Cheers pal 👍
Hey Chris, Have you cut your plastic side skirts? I had to cut some parts off the bottom of the skirt for the side steps to fit. If your cutting more than just the bottom flat part it means you potentially don’t have the correct brackets. How far off are they?
@@SLRebuilt - yes, I cutout 2 squares to allow the side skirts to slide past the brackets. That bit is fine. But then I offered up the side steps and saw that there is no way its going to fit. It's hard to describe in words. Basically, the bracket (with the 2 holes in for the side step to fix to) is slammed up flush to the underside of the side skirts. This leaves no room for the top edge of the side step, which means the I cannot bolt the bracket to the side steps. I reckon the bracket holes are about an inch too high. How far below the side skirt did your bracket hang? Was there any clearance between it and the side skirt above? On mine, there is none. Thanks for your help 👍
@@WelshWilts did you pull the side skirts off whilst fitting/bolting up the side steps and then clip them back on once you’ve tightened the side step bolts?
@@SLRebuilt - no, I removed the skirts, fixed the mounts, cut a square of of the skirt for each mount, put back on the skirts. All good. When I try to offer the side steps up to bolt it on, the whole length of the top of the side step (the rubber bit) hits the bottom edge of the skirts. It is like the mounts are not low enough. Can you remember if you bought the Pure/Prestige steps or the Dynamic one? As the dynamic have different mounts so I am told.
@@WelshWilts I can’t remember. Just searched my emails to find an invoice and haven’t been unable to find it. It sounds like whatever you have at the moment, you need the opposite. I suspect I got dynamic as change my side skirts to dynamic.
They weren’t too bad. You have to remove the plastic side skirts (they just clip on) and have to chop a little bit out of the underneath. First one took me about 45 mins. Second one 20 mins.
Good Day, please my 2013 Evoque still has an overheating issue and is leaking coolant from the left side of the engine(the side where the coolant tank it). I recently changed the radiator and water pump to fix the overheating issue and it came back. Whenever I turn on the ac the engine starts running very hot till it eventually overheats please do you have any idea how I can fix? My mechanic keeps doing trial by error with the car although he is quite knowledgeable

I agree the car looks so much better with the lowered springs. The black wheels and gloss side skirts just finish it off perfectly, happy xmas
Yes I agree door 100% needs blending! Side skirts look brilliant 👏
Pro tip: watch series at kaldroStream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Alberto Cason Definitely, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for months myself :)
I would wrap the arch mouldings gloss black

Great work buddy. 👊👊

Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the great content throughout the year. Car looks spot on now. Whats next after the Evoque???
Thank you. Something a bit smaller next 🙌🏽
Nice one mate
Can I ask where the side steps were from as I'm after the same for my evoque. Good work
Does this lowering not affect off road performance? Anyway looking forward to today's (final?) instalment - great job !!
