Default The New Look of my RS5... What do you think?

I just had a my brake calipers wrapped in a special material by 3m that can withstand the heat. Also they are a reflective material. The RS logo when we made the new ones we realized that Red and black wouldn't stand out much, so we changed it to blue and black. I also had the front of the car wrapped with a detail that resembles some of the newer Audi's RSQ3 and the Q7. Let me know your thoughts.... Still not sure about the front but I am going to leave it see if it grows on me. Also the front and rear splitters were also wrapped to look like the aluminum package.

Love the red brake calipers. I got red OEM for mine.

The front looks good. If you tire of it you can always remove. Assume the rear is the same as the aluminum pkg? Need pics. Should look fine as well. I opted for the black sports exhausts. The silver tips on our S4 are pretty much impossible to keep looking decent, especially in winter.

Best

Yes, looks great and I like the front. Blue/Silver go well together and it looks unique (in a good way)!

Black tailpipes...yes!

If that silver gets too dirty you can always remove. Well done!

Red calipers are nice. Personally, I wouldn't do that to the front but the only thing that matter is what you like.

Not a fan of the silver on the front end, but good on you for trying something different and each to their own!

Default A tip of the "hat"....

Nicely done with respect to all of those details. One suggestion. The part of the rotor that holds the sacrificial section to the hub is called the hat. The hat gets pretty dull, but a little metal polish and some elbow grease, or a buffing wheel and it polishes up bright and shiny. It looks great through the spokes, really adds a luster as it contrasts with the drilled dark holes and costs practically nothing...

Happy Motoring,

Eric
