That little spoiler on the trunk lid, is that body colored or carbon fiber?
Thanks! Trunk lid spoiler is body coloured, shadow makes it look darker. Audi do have a carbon one in their accessories parts catalogue.

That looks great. Great job on the color combo. Black optics I think is a must on the S4/S5.

I just went on the Canadian configurator and saw Moonlight Blue is one of the options! That was one of the meanest looking colors on the outgoing S6. It's going to be a tough choice between Moonlight Blue and Manhattan Grey.

I like it too, and was on the verge of ordering an S6 a year ago but I find the suspension set up just too soft as much as I have a thing for V8s. Plus I had been driving a C7 model for 6 years so perhaps time for a change. And a smaller car.

But you will find that Moonlight Blue is an A5 colour, and would need to be ordered as an Exclusive colour for the S5 variant if that is the version you are interested in.

Again, absolutely stunning, and based on your pics I have finally made peace with the front end. It works well on the SB. Congratulations!

Kind of looks like a smaller version of the A7/S7. Saw an Audi reps A5 coupe on Friday while getting oil/filer & tire rotation. Really like what they've done with the interior and the hood goes all the way to the front fenders.

That red looks spectacular (magma?) The red I saw on an S4 at the Toronto auto show was more maroon red - I assumed it was magma as I do not think they offer multiple red seat options. You are making me reconsider my seat color, hmm....

Even though the car had been really well prepared by the dealer (best I've ever had), I still had to go through my routine of cleaning any wax off and reapplying today (Swissvax, of course). I always apply wax with my palms and fingers, so get to fondle every inch of the car.

I hadn't appreciated that hood fitment until I did this. The way it floats over the fenders forming a shadow line and continues the wave line down the car is amazing. The crease lines are unbelievably sharp, and surfaces on the door go from concave to convex in parts. Areas around the front splitter and rear diffuser are quite complex. Yet all is millimetre perfect.

Almost as if Audi were showing off how exact their body shop production processes are by making everything as challenging as possible.

The downside is that if you were unfortunate enough to have an accident, it would be almost impossible to get it all lined up again.
