When changing badges u should masking tape around the old badges in a box shape. And then replace the new badges in the box. It keeps the alignment / positioning better!
Top tip! Use dental floss to remove the badges to avoid damage to the paint also put a masking tape line above and below them so you know where to locate the new badges after they are removed.
Finally got some time in the day to catch up on watch my favourite channels. Range Rover looks fantastic you have made a lovely job of it. I started in salvage 30 years ago with a guy I got to know very much like the guys at the garage. Sadly he is retired now but I still have the passion to getting something repaired and put back on the road it always a great feeling. Looking forward to seeing the first drive
On my RRE's and DS's I have always removed the bonnet lettering - they just streak dirt (personal choice). However, in order to ensure the letters go back in the same place they came off on my top tip is to: 1. Go letter by letter. 2. Put a piece of masking tape under and above each letter and put a pencil mark where the corners are. 3. Remove, clean, replace. Also LR adhesive is quite poor (try getting BMW or Merc badge off) so it's worth promoting adhesion by using a hair dryer to warm the panel and the new letter before applying it.
Super sick upgrades. My freelander will be on the channel soon, loads of upgrades for it. Thanx for the Range Rover built, give me really cool ideas. Empire Legacy 💯🤙
Looks really good, you may need to update the CCF settings on the car to change to the xenon bulbs as having the wrong setting may impact the voltage and lifespan of the xenon bulbs. Also I believe depending on how fussy your MOT tester is all HID lights need auto-leveling and washer jets, just something to watch out for.
Same colour as my Wife’s Dynamic. And now with all the black bits. 😎 Definitely needs the upgraded alloys to match. Just bear in mind the ride will be harder with the 20” rims especially without the magnetic shocks. Oh and I recommend servicing the Haldex unit with an oil change and if it’s Haldex 4 change the filter. Which ever type of Haldex (4 or 5) pull the pump as it has a filter screen that clogs up with muck and then blows the pump.
You also need the 2x shark fins on the rear tailgate spoiler it gives +10 points to badass :D going to retrofit that spoiler on my Evoque this summer. I just need to find some documentation on how to remove it first.
That looks so much nicer, If there’s one thing that lets the aesthetics of a car down it’s acres of unpainted grey plastics,Nice set of wheels will finish this off a treat👌
You need Sam back 2016 lights just plug play and wing black fents black 20 ins wheels in black to go with the roof and maps doing good job of evoque have good Xmas m8
Really Making me want a Evoque watching your videos haha, looking at either a pure with the dynamic parts or buying a dynamic, found a dynamic lux for £9,250 online and looks amazing all blacked out, torn between the grey & black or all black
Loving the content ma man.. build is coming on a treat. Great to watch channel as your pace filming is spot on👍🏻 After effspot, stradman & Vtuned this is all i need for a weekly car fix no pun intended 😎 Hope santa brings some new wheels🎅🏻
Hi there SL rebuilt. Great video! I am also upgrading a pure & part of what I wanted to upgrade is the headlamps, can you confirm that swapping out pure halogen for hid with signature led is a direct swap with no other modification? Or any problems? Also can you let me know where you sourced the headlamps please. You said you got them at a really good price & it would appear they are also the black label/Victoria Beckham edition which ideally are the ones I would like to source to go with the Santorini black paint. If you can answer these 2 queries then many thanks in advance... Neil...
@@SLRebuilt wow! I've heard from many people that the xenons will need to be coded since they are auto leveling and they also need the auto leveling sensor.
Constructive feedback alert, if you have a headlamp levelling switch in the car then those Xenons won't work, the little arm that broke on your S3 is the auto levelling system.
Hi, love this series! Bought my own Evoque to fix up recently. I have a question if you’ve got a chance to answer it. Did you need dynamic specific bumper mounting brackets that fix the bumper to the wings?
@@SLRebuilt Thanks, I actually got around to checking and all seemed fine. My other question is did you have any issues changing to the xenon lights from halogen? I’ve just swapped mine out and the xenon bulbs turn off after a split second. Researched online and everyone is saying it’s not a straight swap and it needs coding in.
I have did my evoque same and like post pic of my car to let you see my evoque 14 reg I put 2016 headlights on it and back bumper frunt bumper from 2018 new wheels you just need wing fentsblack
I think I'd have spent the money on ensuring the paint match was better rather than adding all of the Dynamic options, now it looks like theres differences in colour on the n/s front door and front/rear ends. It's a good looking thing though!
ideally Software needs to be changed to accommodate headlights (still have not changed and has been a year or so now). They still work but sometimes the main beam goes out - has to be turned off and back on again
If it’s anything like a Freelander the letters should come pre spaced and levelled on the backing paper and should all be applied together in one go! Not sure if that was on his radar?
Must have got some knock off copies of the lettering as the spacing was not the same as the old spacing so had to improvise. Will look at them again in the future for sure 😂
Great series . Get the carplay installed the infotainment in the car is rubbish . I have a video on my channel explaining advantages and Brief install procedure
@@SLRebuilt let me know if you have any questions . Also these cars ridiculously easy to Nick. I would suggest putting in a ampire canbus firewall . I have a video on how to install I did for my cousin they aren’t much. But adds additional layer of security . I didn’t make public, but if you interested let me know . Will find a away of sending you link
I have just watched the entire series for this project, well done that man 👏 Really impressive work and nice to see good help is still available, what a legend 👍 I noticed you put the dynamic side skirts on without adding the original dynamic side skirts bar/bracket/rail. Basically a 30mm box tube that runs up the sides of the vehicle for the skirts to mount on. You can see them here: th-cam.com/video/FfREQrZzKkw/w-d-xo.html. I only mention it because I am about to the same thing, and wondered if you have had any issues since fitting the skirts without these bars in place? Keep up the great work mate 👌
Hey Chris, Thank you very much. I purchased non genuine ‘Pure’ side steps to get round this problem. The mounting points for these mean you don’t need to use the side bar thing and saves you additional hassle and money. Still used the dynamic plastic side skirts though. Hope that helps. Sam
@@SLRebuilt Cheers Sam, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. The bars are a nightmare to source, even worse than trying to find a decent set of dynamic door mouldings 😂 I will follow your lead, get the dynamic skirts and then add an aftermarket Pure set of side steps, gloss black of course 😉 Nice one Sam, +1 sub, all the best 👍

Did this to mine a few years back and got a fail on MOT for not having xenon washers had to stick headlight washers on a relay, good work !
Cheers for the heads up mate. Will defo look into this.
Thanks
Definetely is an MOT failure if there are no washers installed, however they look much better.
Your mot tester was a ar5e hole
Anxiety kicked in at 13.00.. waiting for the trims to get stepped on lol but lovely job mate..
Thank you. Just watched it back and.. same here 😬. Didn’t realise we were stomping all very close to them. Ha.

well done sam.looks a much better,andy has been a legend in this build,great to see that there is decent guys still out there.👍👍👍👍
Looking good,nice work bud,looking forward to seeing the biscuits go👍👍👍
Best videos and content yet. You won’t want to work on your drive again after this luxury.
Thank you 🙏
Already dreading the cold and rain for the next project 😬😬
Super sick upgrades.

Why you don’t retrofit facelift dynamic front bumper to me it’s way more aggressive... and you can put rear tail lights of facelift models
Take all the other badges off the rear, just leave the black RR badge.
Will you be doing the numbers on the previous car and this car ?
Looks really good, you may need to update the CCF settings on the car to change to the xenon bulbs as having the wrong setting may impact the voltage and lifespan of the xenon bulbs. Also I believe depending on how fussy your MOT tester is all HID lights need auto-leveling and washer jets, just something to watch out for.
Thank you for the info. I think you maybe right about the MOT too. Looking into this as we speak. 👍
Yes as far as I know HID lights needs washer jets and auto leveling
Smashed it Sam 👏 It’s looking good now 👍 18in biscuit wheels 😂😂 looking forward to the next video 😁😁😁
Cheers Lee. Next weeks video is even more a a transformation too. 🙌🏽
Looking sick, huge progress

Thank Nick. Wheels and something else to come next week! Will certainly be getting it serviced and looking at the hadlex too 👍
Now your talking looks amazing
Can’t wait to see it finished 👌👍👍👍
Tip, buy yourself a pair of vent grills for the back of the bonnet. They totally transform the dynamic mate.
Excellent transformation.
Nice job, looks great. The new wheels will certainly finish it off👍
I think you need to tell the computer it has HIDs fitted. They draw more current initially and therefore the electronic fuse is cutting in.
Thank you. Looking into this now. 👍
SL Rebuilt th-cam.com/video/8-RkXa53EK8/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely amazing progress
Doing a great job mate, enjoying the uploads. Price breakdown video would be interesting

Massive improvement buddy.
Awesome work SL really made progress 👏
That looks a lot better with the Dynamic pack
Looking really awesome
Cracking job, well done.
Well worth upgrading the lights/bumper etc while the car is stripped, looks so much better
That looks so much nicer, If there’s one thing that lets the aesthetics of a car down it’s acres of unpainted grey plastics,Nice set of wheels will finish this off a treat👌
Mean machine.
Smoked type headlights look good.
Will sell easily if you are going to sell it.

Oh and can I ask where you got the dynamic diffuser from mate.
Great job where did you get the headlights from please
Found them on eBay bud
What model did they come off
@@pauljohnson1272 not sure- just found them on eBay!
Why didn’t you polish the doors before you put the tunes back on I would’ve done apart from that the car looks nice
Looks good well worth all the effort and cash you have put in. Will you be in profit though. 🤔
Nope. The replacing A pillar killed it but it’s staying within the family so not too worried about making money on this one. 👍
Ohhh new 22" wheels gloss black!
Cars Looking Sweeeeeet !!!!!!
My dream SUV 😍😍 great Job.
Are those the OEM light? Where did you get them from? Are they plug and play when upgrading from the standard halogens?
Yeah they are oem. Found them on eBay. Yep I just plugged them in and they worked 👍
@@SLRebuilt wow! I've heard from many people that the xenons will need to be coded since they are auto leveling and they also need the auto leveling sensor.
I would of left the front and rear Range Rover letters off as it looks much cleaner without them.
You need red evoque bages
What’s the tool you have at 12:48? Is that plastic welding?
It’s just a soldering iron to melt the plastic
I’ve got the black badges to go on my black RRS just can’t be arsed doing it!! You’ve made it look a piece of piss 😂👍
Couldn't have you fitted the 2017 style headlights and front bumper?
Happy New year sam
Happy New Year 🥳
I'd have left the front letters off personally.... Looks well though
Where did you buy all the stuffs that you used to upgrade
Constructive feedback alert, if you have a headlamp levelling switch in the car then those Xenons won't work, the little arm that broke on your S3 is the auto levelling system.
Thank you Liam. Looking into this as we speak. Appreciate the feedback. 👍
Hi, love this series! Bought my own Evoque to fix up recently. I have a question if you’ve got a chance to answer it.
Did you need dynamic specific bumper mounting brackets that fix the bumper to the wings?
Hi bud, thanks. No specific mounting brackets. Simply bolts to the existing.
@@SLRebuilt Thanks, I actually got around to checking and all seemed fine. My other question is did you have any issues changing to the xenon lights from halogen? I’ve just swapped mine out and the xenon bulbs turn off after a split second. Researched online and everyone is saying it’s not a straight swap and it needs coding in.
How difficult is it to do the plastic welding on the rear bumper parts? What would you recommend to use?
great repair work But shocking paint match poor car now looks multicoloured ....
When fitting the door trims do you have to fit the side skirts or can you keep the original
mate, that is starting to look the dogs....great perseverance
👍👍👍
Good mod and yeah needs rims but yer doin grand lad 👍🏻
Hi did you fit powerfold mirrors. Are they just plug and play. Thanks
Looking good.
Looking good, are you installing privacy glass?
I have did my evoque same and like post pic of my car to let you see my evoque 14 reg I put 2016 headlights on it and back bumper frunt bumper from 2018 new wheels you just need wing fentsblack
Which model did the headlights come off cheers
How much did you pay for your side mouldings and skirts pls just to give a rough idea of costs
I will update you mine evoque totally jet black....
I had a question at 13:13 does the glossy black pannel fits on a pure version back?
where would the seller on ebay find these parts?
So i take it you have the headlight washers connected up for the xenons and the auto leveling for the xenons, both required by law ?
Car's looking great! Love the cringe and goofs 😅.
looks awesome
Hi, 2.2 l diesel is a good engine?
Looks sick
I think I'd have spent the money on ensuring the paint match was better rather than adding all of the Dynamic options, now it looks like theres differences in colour on the n/s front door and front/rear ends. It's a good looking thing though!
The paint match in natural light is fine on the mouldings, and bumpers. Rear pass door and front need to be blended.
Where’s the bonnet vents.
Can you confirm that no software have to be coded in order to swap halogen headlight to xenon ones?
ideally Software needs to be changed to accommodate headlights (still have not changed and has been a year or so now). They still work but sometimes the main beam goes out - has to be turned off and back on again
hi Maybe you have front sensor parts number??
Great stuff
Love the changes you have made, what a lovely car, they look so crap and cheap factory
Christmas day Santa brought 20" rims
😂😂🙌🏽
The N on the front is a bit low mate😅
If it’s anything like a Freelander the letters should come pre spaced and levelled on the backing paper and should all be applied together in one go! Not sure if that was on his radar?
Must have got some knock off copies of the lettering as the spacing was not the same as the old spacing so had to improvise. Will look at them again in the future for sure 😂
@@SLRebuilt on your next Evoque 😉 you should tape a rectangle around the old lettering so you stay exactly in the same spot as the old letters.
Where did you order your parts from?
EBay, breakers & landrover bud
The RR badges on the bonnet aren’t straight! OCD! ARGH! Great job, nevertheless
Omg i thought it was just me. Love all the changes he has made, that killed me seeing the first A everso slightly off!

Yes 😬😬
Go on son!!!
🤟🏼🤟🏼
is the back bumper a different colour and the front
On screen at least there looks to be a shade difference. N/s wing and front door look different to rear door
Think the wing and door are a different shade so they will be blended. The rear bumper and front look great in natural light.
@@SLRebuilt so they are yet to be painted 👍
Nice Wow 🤩
Can i work for you?? Im from Pete
I have set facelift back lights for sale
Looks like the A is to high on the bonnet.
Yaaaaaaaas 💁🏻♀️

Put some Landwind X7 badges on for a laugh and see if anyone notices......
