Default New to Audi - 2015 A5

Hi all, just bought my first Audi, 2015 A5 2.0 Quattro Coupe. Looking forward to picking up any tips or advice everyone has. This is my first Audi, and first time back in a coupe in a few years.

Here's a picture. I've had it about a month now and all I've done is add tint to the windows and drive about 1,600 miles.

I wish that was my garage! This picture was taken in the staging area at Audi Central Houston.

Default All it takes is money. Racemark, or something.

There are garage detailers that will do anything you need/want/can pay for to redo your garage.

I want to do mine but I dread moving multiple Costco racks to get to a clean floor. I may do one bay at a time but that requires leaving two out in the mud and the blood and the beer.

What I really liked were the various driveways in Miami, like granite blocks...

Sigh.

Love the color. It stays pretty clean and when shined up...looks shiny as a new dime.

Your fogs appear to be white. Unlike the OEM yellowish that I replaced with Hoens. Did you replace them or are they factory?

Factory fogs - the angle of the picture makes them whiter than they actually are. This is my only complaint so far, as it takes away from the look of the headlights.

You can quickly and easily replace them to make them almost similar to the headlights. They are HOEN H8. They do however have a very slight bluish appearance.

Hoen

Plus they are easily replaced thru the wheel well. Ten minutes tops on each side.

I learned that there is a way to stop the beeping sound when you open a door with the car running. I don't know if you were shown that. I owned my Q5 for nearly two years before I knew you can cancel that sound. Touch the button on the end of the wiper stalk. Touch it on the top part of the button and rock it upward.

If you did know this, I hope I taught someone else something valuable.
