It does feel bigger than the S5, but well planted. After 4 years I knew how to place the S5 very well and it rarely felt like a big car. It takes me a littel time to get to know how big a new car is and how it handles etc., you then know when you can attack and when to back off. Still in the...
So today it was time to say goodbye to the S5. Still looking might fine:
Very sad to see it go :cry:
Now to get to know the new beast:
Feels much bigger than the S5, but one hell of an engine.
Lots of toys - better go read the manual :rtfm:
But that can wait - need...

After 4 years and just under 19,000 miles it will soon be time to say good bye to my S5 for the last time.
Last week it in went in for it's annual service and MOT at Worthing Audi and somehow I ended up taking a RS6 Performance for a test drive. :racer:
This was a fatal move and a complex man...
Yes that could look good or even a gloss black wrap to the roof and mirrors. The black edition + has gloss black mirrors and gloss black sill blades. :cool:
I posted this on the previous page about how to enable the interior ambient lighting. Basically you need to enable it with VCDS.
From Warren's S5 build thread:
INTERIOR AMBIENT LIGHTING CONTROL (3G MMI HIGH FL MODELS)
Thought I'd share this as this isn't as straightforward as earlier cars:

Update on the 034 Motorsport Transmission Mount insert:
Wow! What a difference this makes. Gear changes are now imperceptably smooth.
I really recomend this mod to anyone with the S-tronic box. Best thing I have done so far
:thumbs up:
I still think the Black Edition rotors are my favourite wheel, but I like the look of these too.
I agree they certainly brighten up the car quite a bit.
Maybe I need a second bright finish grille to go with them and change back to black edition when I put the summer wheels on again next...
Time for Winter Wheels and tyres
In that the ambient temperature is now below 8'C, I thought it was time to fit my winter wheels and tyres.

034 Motorsport Transmission Mount insert
Something else I had be meaning to do for some time was fit the 034 Motorsport Transmission Mount insert I had got off Cuppa.
Quick look under the car shows the original item, not hidden by any covers:
Easy to remove with a M10 spline bit.

RS6 facelift Dead Pedal
So while enhancing the interior I thought I would add the dead pedal / foot rest from the facelifted RS6:
Part number: 4G2-864-777-B-3Q7
This is normally £102.47 from TPS, but I mananged to scoop one on ebay for £55 :)
Now when you lok at this part the alloy cover is...
Have not updated in a while, so will make amends with a few updates.
Car has now done 1,100 mile in the 8 weeks since I picked it up and I am enjoying it and starting to explore the performance a bit more. Although the car still feels it's size much of the time, I have learnt that it really is...
