Thank you, just the standard maxton splitter and side skirts. No the rear is still standard as they don't do the rear diffusers

Exactly the same boat, my local Audi salesman has done his white A5 and I did like it but can't decide if I prefer it over chrome..same as you.

Exactly. I think on the black car it looks well with chrome but on a white car the chrome looks lost

I got the v1. The rear diffuser is only for the standard a5 not the s5 tho isn't it?

Ooo nice. I see you have dechromed it. You got any pictures from front?

 

[Craig999]

not sure their are two different diffusers on site I had to send them pictures of my front and rear bumpers to say if they fit but never got a reply
did you fit with tape or self tappers ?

The diffusers look like an extra add-on to the standard A5. I used the self tappers.

 

[Craig999]

many thanks right thought they might fit over the s5 ones will message them again before I order

They replied back to me. They said as of yet they don't do them and not sure if they will yet

Got mine de chromed a while back

Nice! Did you spray or wrap them?

 

[Paul Meehan]

All wrapped. Window surrounds, wing mirrors and chrome grill surround. Oh and the bit on the side .

One company said I should paint the door mirrors as a wrap wouldn’t work due to the shape. Result was I found a better wrap company .

Looks stunning and has pretty much convinced me to go for it. Think you said but did you just wrap the chrome bits on the grill? Although I'm trying to find an RS style grill that'll fit...

Yes just the surrounding chrome bit of the grill. I did consider doing it all but the wrap company advised against it.
Also have considered an RS5 grill as well but having looked at various threads it seems an awkward job so haven’t gone for it.
.....yet

Looks well! I might wrap mine

 

[Benji315]

Personally I wrapped all my front bumper as the silver lip looked odd but it's to each persons own tastes, worth noting the quality of the rings on the RS grille I got haven't had the best winter, looks like I'll need to replace them!

Looks mint that! Where did you get the RS grill from?

That's true... the Chrome does make the black on these models

 

[Lmarls]

Anyone know how to or a diagram on how to remove the plastic textured trim on the side of the s5?
