The people around me who were watching had picked up on that. I asked the question whether articulation is better in normal or extended mode.

That'd be me...

The problem is the front spoiler scraping on the ramp. Happens with most of the newer cars. As for that Evoque...

You foglight was folding back. It just had the smell of damage had you continued.

Thanks mate I can see a little scrape on the lip.

I should have removed the spoiler lip and raised the suspension, it would have gone a bit further then

Still it was fun

I think it's better in extended mode because there is more body clearance.

We could adapt the old computer support Acroymn PEBKAC "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard" to PEBDAC "Problem Exists Between Driver And Controls"

Owner's Manual Pge. 193 "Bib Spoiler" .....

"...The vehicle has a bib spoiler extension fitted
to the front bumper to improve air flow during
normal driving conditions. This MUST be
removed when considering serious off-road
driving..."

If the front lip was touching then I'm sure it would have benefit in high mode. But I found high mode tended to lift wheels easier in the bush. But maybe on a travel ramp where the rear passenger is on the bump stop and the drivers side in the air due to hitting the end of the shock then I can't see it being much different.

I reckon that rear drivers side had plenty to go though Steve until it lifted. Do your standard size tyres rub the guards? Maybe your liners aren't up tight or bump stops squashed as mine never rubbed until the 32's.
