He is looking . Sorry but 'she' is reserved for an S4, an S5 is more of a 'he'. Regardless, HE looks handsome

Looks stunning mate, good effort!
Cheers matey, yes "He" is starting to look the way I want "him" to
JG
Jokes aside, the car is looking stunning mate and come December she will be just how you want her to be

That looks fantastic mate.
Yes, if I can wait until December, I'll have to restrain myself.
So, you thinking EBC disc's?

I am a pain in the back side when it comes to making a final decision (car only). Have looked around and it will likely be between ECS and StopTech. RS brake kit was getting a bit expensive with carriers and other bits was costing a tad more.

Both the ones you've got in mind are from reputable suppliers, so you won't go wrong. Have you considered Q5 Brembo 4 pot calipers instead of RS, XP has these on his S4, think they're around £650 new for the pair.
JG
Started looking at them as well mate. It's not looking healthy on my wallet at all

Nice JG - RS handles are a nice touch. I toyed with getting my wing mirrors painted gloss black but the chrome being one of the few things that sets the S apart decided to stick. The white and black looks nice though!
looks good! you will have to let us know how you get on with the new disks after a few months, i had drilled and grooved on my wimpy a4 and it ate through pads, literally tore chunks out and caused allot of vibration, i hated them and was back to pagid in less than 3 months lol but I seem to be the black sheep as plenty others swear by them, an can't deny they look beaut.
wheres the front splitter come from? i hunted the entire way through your thread and couldn't find it.
Cheapest I seen yet in the UK, looks good too.. might get you a style copycat on here now hahaCheers @Meemo, it's coming along nicely.
So far disc's & pads are fine, feel as if they have a bit better stopping power, time will tell though.
Splitter is Maxton Design - Facelift S-Line one, fits perfectly.

Looking sweet, they’ll set it off nicely sitting behind your rotors bud.
JG, the discs you have - make a real noticeable difference? I upgraded my pads in the summer to red stuff and they're better than AUDI stuff however, was following a Porsche Turbo recently and my brakes faded alarmingly quickly... wondering if the airflow around the discs you have a) makes a big difference and b) that difference is worth the cost?
Another wee job ticked of the never ending list...............
