BTW, think i recognize the exact location where that 2nd shot was taken, down town manhattan financial district?
yupp, ConEd taped off the whole block for construction and I just happened to be going to a restaurant in front of it... so I ripped off the tape and backed in to park instead of finding parking elsewhere...

Audi Exclusive color? I know it's available on the S5 but not on the A5 under normal circumstances.

Debadged my cars today, was pretty easy. Used a hair dryer to heat the glue up, and dental floss to remove the emblems, then cleaned up the glue remanents

Default Competition (Hartmann Rim replica powder coated) wheel swap on a cab

Finally powder coated Hartman rims that I purchased and am swapping out the stock rims today. The rims offset is ET38, so I added a 10mm wheel spacer for caliper clearance.

Rims $265 ea.
Powder Coating $125
Wheel spacer $75 / pair
Center Cap $10 ea.

Beautiful color combo.

Like your toy collection, too. I have a few Corgis along with my Hot Wheels collection.

I spoke to Phil Housley from ECS Tuning .com @ 800.924.5172 ext. 345 about my wheel arch gap issue. and he confirmed with his team the correct Coilover Kit for 2014 A5.
