S5 Mods V1.1

G'day from Sydney.

OK, been waiting for this for a while now.

Here's what I've done in Mods V1.1:
Caractere Grille
15mm Spacers on Front (to complement Rear)
Painted Rear Difuser Matte Black




My early feelings are:
Lose the Caractere RS5 badge from the grille
Rear valence could go a couple of shades darker
Pretty chrome strip on rear valence could go black
Fake front air vents arount front fogs could go matte black

Keen to get your feedback guys

Car looks amazing. Not too fond of that badge, looks tacky on the S5. Keep rear strip on the diffuser chrome as it gives a nice contrast. Is that a GMG exhaust?
Also are your rims 20inch?

The spacers really help out on the wheels. Are you lowered yet?

Great looking S5, but your own suggestions are spot on. Also needs a drop! Does your S5 have the red leather interior? If so, that is my favorite color combo.

By the way, welcome to the Team!

Thanks for your feedback so far guys, see responses below:

Is that a GMG exhaust? - No, it's MTM cat-back

Also are your rims 20inch? - Yes, they're stock wheels from an RS6

Are you lowered yet? / Also needs a drop! / ....and a drop is needed - Haven't lowered yet, I bought the wheels with the stock tyres which are quite high profile (275/35/20). I'll wait for them to wear out, buy low profile (thinking 20 or 25) and then lower 1" all round.

Looks great, but a slight drop and losing the badge would work wonders. Beautiful car man!
