Default Rear brake caliper plate
I just noticed that my rear brake calipers don't have a cover like other S5 I saw. :-(

Audi removed the rear "S" cover during the middle of MY2018 to save a few bucks for Dieselgate fines. It also removed a grocery hook and one light from the trunk of the S4, but that does not affect the S5.

The 2018 Coupé has only the passenger side grocery hook in the trunk. Not sure about the trunk lights?

The SB has an LED strip on each side of the trunk and no grocery hooks because there is no place to hang them with the hatch.

One hook, two lights, no “S” cover on rear calipers.

Mine has the red covers on the rear calipers — possibly because of the 19” Cavos — But no “S” badge.

My 2018 SB has a grocery hook on each side of the trunk just rearward of the LED strip.

Hooks yes, but not grocery hooks. These are grocery hooks https://www.audiusaparts.com/oem-par...gaAsW-EALw_wcB
