My car landed at the dealers 3 weeks ago.

I went for a white sport back quattro sport tronic with practically the whole options list smile

The advanced key is awesome!

Here are pics landed at the dealers.

Its just had the ship packing removed from the springs so looks a little like a 4x4 but will settle soon.





3 days after it arriving at my house,

it was shipped of to trimstar for the custom leather work..

and this is what I got back
























Next on the list are the wheels.

I have a set of 20" staggered Kleeman wheels which I want to get re finished with polished centres like this



I think after that, I will turn my attention to carbon styling mods

Would love to hear your comments and ideas

Wow, you sir have balls to start playing with a literally brand-new car! I do like the A5's though, especially the latest face life, looks great!

Having friends who work for Audi, that must have cost you a small fortune, enjoy it smile

Ps. What engine is in it?

I like it, although i'm surprised this sort of thing isn't an option from Audi themselves as i know you can get custom diamond trim leather from BMW option list.

Also, this may be a stupid question, but will this affect the warranty on the car from Audi?

Fair play to you for doing what you want with your car. You will no doubt get slated but I think so far its pretty tasteful. I personally would steer clear of carbon mods but I can tell already you want it to be a statement so go for it. I look forwards to seeing how it evolves. Nice car btw.

The interior looks fantastic, really nice job.

I'm not a fan of the after market wheels, I think the Audi ones look much better! But as they say - if we were all the same life would be boring!

Is it me or is the stitching on the first picture of the door, rather pi**ed. I'm not a fan of red leather, but do like the diamond design.

Why wouldn't you buy an S5 instead of spending money blinging this up?

lol thanks for the comments guys.

yeah wasnt expecting everyone to love it or we would live in a very boring world.

The stitching isnt pissed. probably the pic makes it look that way.

I looked over all the stitching lol to make sure it was perfect smile

Again with the wheels, I havent tried them on the car yet but they looked awesome on my CLS. If they dont work, I will remove it.

And with the carbon trim, it will be fairly subtle. Probably the rear diffuser and some accents on the front splitter

S5 doesnt look any different, to the Sline so I would still do the same mods, plus more importantly, I needed the 5 seats.

S5 is only a 4 seater otherwise I would off.

Fair play to you chap; looks like nice quality work too. Joins and seams all look factory.

Audi Exclusive willl do allsorts for you but the lead times are long and the price tags silly. Wouldn't be surprised if the trim work here worked out cheaper than having Audi go mad.

Again, Audi themselves do some nice (and expensive) carbon goodies.

Keep us posted, I'll follow with interest.

Kind regards,

Another Ibis white Audi driver with red leather wink

Yeah this was half the price and took half the time of the Audi exclusive upgrade.

Can't see why this is getting any negativity at all!

Interior looks awesome, in no way chavvy, and white and red go together perfectly!

Wheels should look really good too!

Some nice subtle mods, keep it up mate!

Fair play on a brand new car, im guessing depreciation is not a concern of yours!

Not bothered by depreciation no. It's the price you have to pay if you want something specific, and I plan to keep the car 5 years+

It will become the second car in 3 years and replace my golf
