It was not sprayed but carefully brushed on (3 coats), although you would never know that as it is completely smooth & glossy.

Is it possible to see some close up shots of the finished article?

Hi Guys

I've had my S5 Coupe for over 2 weeks now and covered around 500 miles. I adore the car but my only hold up with it is the MPG I am currently averaging at (12MPG)

I would say 95% of the time I am driving in Efficiency mode and I'm not thrashing the pants off it either.

Can anyone post MPG they are currently getting out of their S5 coupes?

On an another note I am thinking of getting the calipers painted by http://www.specialisttyres.com/brakecalipers.htm and wanted to know if the red calipers as an option from factory includes front and rear and emblem on all calipers.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Alex

I recently read the pistonheads article on the S4 Avant long term test car, their mpg improved by taking it out of efficiency mode.

Thanks for the pics. Looks good. Did you think about painting the front of the caliper and get some decals made up to stick on?

Yes, was going to do that but caliper decals are in white/red and are hardly noticeable, so I decided to leave the raised section black so it shows up better.

Would this work in my 2014 S4?

If so would you be able to email me a copy?

If you have a SD slot I would imagine so. Will send any new requests on Monday now as files on my work PC.

Is anyone thinning about mapping the car? Especially interested to hear people who have leased the car..

On a side note i have noticed my MPG has improved from when i first had it. Roughly getting around18-20mpg now. Also the exhaust seems to be popping and crackling more. Maybe due to opening up more.. car also feels quicker?

I may consider a plug in box if one cones to the market with a decent increase and a reasonable price. ABT do one but it will be dear and it doesn't gain a lot on the 0-60

There are 2 SD slots just above the DVD/CD slot so hopefully OK.

I'll PM you my email, much appreciated.

Thanks all, will email replies when at work tomorrow. Please bear in mind that the file is a .ZIP, so may get caught up in your spam or email security.
