Just collected mine.

An alternative colour :-)

Great tech all around, though no touch screen...?

Otherwise all good. Just need to do something with the exhaust note....

Very nice - enjoy, I like the wheels also, as some of them in that range are a bit suspect..

I am considering painting the wheels. I didn't spec this car. Thoughts anyone?

They look a little bright alright. Go a little darker, but not too dark.

Go two-tone diamond cut if the design allows it with anthracite and silver.

Touch screens in my experience simply don't work that well in cars; they're a cleverly marketed, cheap way for the manufacturer to create an infotainment interface.

Didn't have it on my TTS and don't have on my S5 - screen stays lovely and clean and it'll soon becomes second nature using control wheel or steering wheel controls ;-)

Are they the standard 19s? If so, best of the lot IMO and “free”.

Yes, think they are the standard 19s for the RS - the 20s are a bit blingier, and you're right - nicer even than the 19s on the S5

Yup. Nice wheels but I think I would prefer them dark gray? Considering having them sprayed. Then just an exhaust upgrade and all will be fine with the world :-)

Stock car. It does have the sports exhaust though, but still very quiet.

But the 20s are the only ones that have a forged option right? All the others are cast?
