Looks sweet. Quick question (and off topic): I noticed the horizontal chrome line in your front bumper where the air vents are has a break in the middle chrome line. Is that for the DAP camera? I’m assuming you have the driver sssitance package.

Not exactly sure where you're referring to on the grill (but the front facing camera is directly under the Audi Logo on the grill). Yes, I also have the Driver Assistance Pkg. If you're referring to the lower bumper grilles (middle chrome line break), yes, that's the DAP sensors.
Thanks,

I was referring to the lower bumper grills. Thanks, that answers my question!

Thanks All!
fignewton - Thanks for the info, I did not purchase new lug bolts. I will certainly look into that before summer.
2018 SQ5 - Plate bubble cover: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Kubica - You can look online (I believe some places sell reps, but I would caution on confirming the same offsets). I've had previous bad experience with reps and the offset/wheel face (how concave it looks/fits the car). I'm sure you could find a set of reps in 20's on Ebay, but I can't vouch for the quality of course. Good Luck!

They do look great! I had them on my 2014 S4 BO and loved them.
Just a note, did you change to the correct bolts for the wheel? The SQ5 uses R14 ball bolts and the cars use R13s. I just got a set of 20” Sline wheels like on the S6s. Reading in another forum post about spacers, I noted the difference in the bolts and checked. Dropping one of my S4 wheel locks in the new wheels, the bolt perfectly mated to the wheel. Doing the same with the SQ5 bolt, it was obvious that the ball was not making full contact with the mating surface in the wheel. There was a lot of wobble from the back side of the wheel, where there was none with the correct bolt. I ordered a set of R13 bolts to use with my new wheels and all is good. The stock SQ5 bolts may torque down, but they’re only making partial contact with the wheel surface.

Hey fignewton -
Are you sure the above is the case? If I lookup bolts on ECS they list the same lug bolts for both the SQ5, A7, S7 RS7, A4, A5, etc. and they include the below statement:
"Fits OEM wheels, or wheels that use OEM ball seat wheel bolts"

Doing a little homework prior to the Spring here when I swap over, thanks for the post and info.
