Just curious as pre 2018 I think the A series and S series had the same grill, only the RS was different. I think the '18 A5 grill is better looking than the S5.

Yet, I think it is the same grill for the A5 & S5 just with an S logo vice the Quattro logo - at least judging by the factory 'black optic' kits from TAG.

Thanks! Simple change up and only $400! Much cheaper than new wheels and tires. Sure I'd love new wheels and tires, but $3000-5000 not in my budget right now lol.

Thanks! Mine were just the stock 18's! The 19 inch cavos on yours would probably look amazing powder coated black! Only $100 per wheel at the place I went to.

I think it is more than that, the horizontal bars are different, A5 are somewhat scalloped while S5 are not. Just the way the pics look. Have not compared side by side.

Mythos.
