Hi all,
Well, a few weeks back I did something very silly. I was doing a three point turn into a servo driveway. I took it very slowly but the angle of the road and the steepness of the driveway meant that as soon as the car made it into the driveway I heard "Grauuuunnnnchhh!" from the front of the car. Got out...had a look, and sure enough the bottom of the bumper had "kissed" the concrete driveway leaving some nice scratch marks to boot! I was so pissed off with myself but it was what it was and my baby had her first bit of damage!
I have booked an excellent mobile PDR/Body repair bloke to fix the damage and he will do so once Daniel Andrews allows us to get out and about. What I would like to know from any of you here is have you ever seen a Body Amour lip for the series one Evoke? When I go online to check out what is available the listings only indicate the armour packs are suitable for SS, SV6, etc. I have contacted a couple of accessory companies who tell me that they don't know of any kit for the Evoke, being that the lip of the bumper is different to the upper models. Have any of you seen an Evoke with a kit attached?
I know there are after-market generic kits available that will fit the Evoke but I worry that they will look awful...overkill for what is otherwise a standard vehicle. Has anyone seen an Evoke with generic kit?
Anyway...I suppose this whole debacle has taught me one thing... the Commodore is a lot lower at the front than I thought it was!!!
