Very, very nice. Wish mine was that shiny now. As much as I love the black, it's hard to keep it looking clean.Pictures on Facebook Page

Whoop mine just jumped to status 39 (on the way) in the early hours of today. So that's 5 days between leaving the factory and boarding the ship.
What was your build date?I really don't understand Audi. You mention your car was 5 days from leaving the factory to getting a boat. Mine has been waiting for a boat since 13th March!
[gritted teeth]Kidding really, that's great, hope you get it soon[/gritted teeth]

Looks stunning, I'm now getting very jealous, thankfully for me only a few more days to wait. It's really nice to see pictures of a black sport back in the UK now in private hands.Pictures on Facebook Page
I don't know why but I hadn't realised there was a small rear boot spoiler on the sport back.
Mine is black as well, I'm really glad I ordered the the privacy glass, to me having looked at a few other pictures now I think it's missing something without it just finishes the car off.
Interesting, I hadn't considered a fabric treatment for the carpets inside - so that's now another cleaning product that I can put on my birthday list.

mackie1 You can de-flea your pants, I'm on a boat, all is forgiven.
What was your build date? No movement on mine!, all is forgiven.Some awesome looking S5's, looks great in these pictures
No movement on the tracker, so sent a polite email this morning asking if there was an issue, got confirmation it's on a boat with a screen grab showing it's at 39, so the your Audi tracker is not correct.
Looks like it's on the Isar Highway, due in at 8pm tonight

Wow looks really nice, congrats! Glad the red looks nice as I have chosen that too. Did you go for brilliant black or metallic? I've gone for ibis white but looking at these pictures is making me have second thoughts! (too late to change order now anyways)
It's the bog standard black and funnily enough I wanted to change my order to white too but my wife said not to get a white car...so anything for a quiet ish life lol.NickA555 said:

Haha completely opposite for me! Wife preferred white so went for that lol. I generally prefer white cars (easier maintenance IMO) but not 100% sure it will go with the chrome on the S5.In an ideal world I would have been able to stretch by budget and go for the daytona grey...

On the topic of tyres, didn't some of you guys have Hankooks on yourSportbacks?
Mine arrived yesterday with Continentals...
Dufflecoat - What about yours?
From the photos they appear to be Hankooks - interesting that they are mixing brands on the same car, I would have thought they had one manufacture and then stuck with it.Mine arrived yesterday with Continentals...

Nah they tend to be pretty random but of a certain "grade". My S4 came with PilotSports on it in 2009 but a lot of that age came with Dunlops onJetskiJezz said:
