Howdy all,

I traded in my 2016 TTS towards a 2018 S5 Prestige today, with all the bells and whistles. Drove a whopping 900 miles to go get it, and am half-way on my way back to Houston. Totally worth the trip, and a great way to get comfy with the car. Loving it!

Next steps:
- Check some VAG-COM mods...that default auto engine start/stop has got to go :-)
- Get the windows tinted
- Install some ECS Tuning spacers. I think I’ll go with 10 or 12.5mm front, 15mm rear.

It’s looking like my twin:




Congratulations!

Thanks... and it really does look identical! I see you have your windows tinted...that looks good. I’ll definitely get that done ASAP. It’s pretty much a must in TX.

And Ceramic Coated a couple of days after delivery. That is such great stuff.

Best of Luck with yours. I’ve had mine for about 11 months and really enjoy driving it.

Nice to see another Houstonian. Which area are you in?

The Audi Club of Houston is pretty active on Facebook.

I also went with the RS-style grille & color matched mirror caps.



It’s taken awhile but it’s “almost” to where I want it to be.

Actually about 40 miles south of Houston... near Lake Jackson. I’ll check out that FB group, thx for the tip!

Very nice! Now you have me thinking about that grille :-)

Looks good! Update us again with what size spaces you went with and take before/after pics if you can.. Thx!

Is yours a 2019? If so we have the same car, Daytona with BO package. But I noticed your car has the standard S5 wheels. Did you trade out the gray ones that come with the BO package?
