Looks great! I think black optics/black pack whatever you decide to call it really does suit red, black and white cars. Silver too. Grey and Blue I am 50/50.

Looks great, do you not think that tinting the lights might make the car too dark and there being no contrast?

I wouldn't!

I'm actually going to see a local body shop to get a price for spraying my diffuser and chrome gloss black

Yeah I think so! Provides some contrast to the black and in turn makes the black look that much better.

Like the white stripe but if you do back lights red stripe would also look great especially with red calipers

I thought about that however it would make the diamond cut part stand out so decided to black it.

Just curious, I've done some googling but no real luck. Do you know if it's easy to remove the chrome window surrounds? Looking to remove and get them powder coated instead of wrapped. Think it might look better and last longer.

Trying to find out if the side vents pop out as well...

Thanks mate, only things I've found are from the older model S5 and don't want to risk breaking the trim.

Might go to my local body shop and just ask.

Will update this post when I find out Do you know about the side vents on the car? Google shows nothing...just shows the interior air vents or front grill. Not the side ones with the S5. Really want it gloss black and no way could it be wrapped.

Cheers Craig have seen these, but the cost plus import tax is pretty hefty Was wondering if anyone knew how easy (or how to) remove them so I could get them powder coated black.

Not too sure but im guessing they can be removed to be wrapped
 
Sure they must be removable dont think window trims are though

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

Do you know what the main differences are between the v1 and v2. Asked Maxton but not heard back yet. They look pretty similar on the website

V.1 is what i have. More definition on the bends and sits lower.

V.2 looks rubbish in my opinion how it sits on the car

Thought as much so will be going for v1.

Though Maxton say the splitter is for the coupe I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't fit the front of the sportback.

I almost bought the rear diffuser from there but decided to go black with it. The front isn't much different....im one of those and if im paying for something i want to be able to notice everything the money im paying. Too subtle for me and doesnt stand out
