Mine is a 2015 Q5 with Sline pack. I requested the SQ5 grille design instead which the dealer organized for me and i installed (Who doesn't love DIY?!).
Also installed a 25" LED bar behind the grille because the high-beams suck on these things.
I also changed all interior LEDs for white ones (I don't like the warm glow of the default) I kept the fogs the same as I never use them but I kind of like them different.
People keep asking me about the height..
This is the standard spec height for the Q5. In Australia, Europe and UK the SQ5 is about 30mm lower than the Q5, however in the US the SQ5 due to road regulations and classifications, is the same height as the Q5 (has something to do with being classified as a SUV I believe. So SQive, if your in the US, I believe our heights will be almost if not the same.
I like my height. It handles superbly on the road, very planted with little sway. If I want a lower ride, i'll drive the S5.
Aftermarket lowering doesn't appeal to me either, I've drive 4 other q5's that have been lowered and it's just not feeling right. With this I can actually drive it the way it's meant for. Add the cost for parts, labor, alignment... I considered it but in the end I said no...\
LED Light bar installed behind the Grille
Sorry for the crappy phone photo comparison against another... The Grille was all black but I had the crossbars painted with dip for a nice change...totally removable..
