No, it really is that straightforward and should be able to take a bolt straight out the front strut without removing the rest for dimensions. Did the other fella not say it was 8mm bolts???

Yeah, there's three main aspects i think of getting this to work, top cap can be either ram air or cyclonic, then a fixing bracket for the top and then the hardest part is going to be the machining of the vent cover plate...

In the states you can buy uprated suspension kits to improve road manners, like Bilstein inverted dampers etc. Brake upgrades like Brembo etc for the Evoque which are a direct fitment to Freelander.

There is a lot about but you have to dig it out.


Wealth of information here! Thanks. Idea Wait...you get 17in steel wheel options, diesel engines, manual transmissions, cloth seats, optional sunroofs and G4 kit! Censored
