And on 20-inch winter rims for a few days - need JP Alloys to apply some TLC to the two rear 21-inch alloys due to some clumsy tyre fitter partially scoring the edges of both rims - might as well get 'em done now otherwise it'll 'P' me off if I wait till November:

John, you don’t mess about, I like it
Exactly the same colour combo as my mates!
Good call on the trim change as his was marked when he bought it and the new one is just the same now
Your certainly not wasting any time!Two more days and the dented brushed aluminium console surround goes piano black:

Can't wait...
PS: drove the RS3 yesterday for the first time since this SQ5 arrived...
Your certainly not wasting any time!
Are you seriously considering selling the RS3 then?
Washed mine at 7 a.m. this morning and then spent all day machine polishing and applying various sealants ........looks just like it did at 7.15 lol. God damn silver cars

Would love to own that car John as it certainly is a rare, loved and unmolested super low mileage beauty.10-years for the RS3 was ALWAYS the plan, Ju.
Cancer for rs3copilot in-between was not(!) - and that's resulted in the mega low use.
Already selling RS3 surplus - 8.5J mega rare wheels....
Between now and October 2021 I see the RS3 moving on. No rush just yet. A number of interested parties already but our own decision to part not yet made. At 14427 miles I can afford a few more yet, but this SQ5 takes some beatin'

Get yer bids in now....

I've always read your posts about "bluey" with envy
It was always my dream to own the 8P RS3 but it would have to be a second car now the wife has MS and after spending over £30k on the other toy it would be a bridge too far atm.
Awfully nice of you to offer John, shall I start saving now lol.Thank you sooo much!!
You are always welcome to come and try BLUEY, Ju; experience the car for what it is, whatever: life is too short not to...
I blame that wonderful ASN Sandra girl

Looked at various ways to change to include; re-paint, plastic coat, wrap, leather cover, etc; all with their own issues but now going with an OEM (£274 ouch!) piano black item - photo soon...

So what Bluey did you drive to the garage ?

That's amazing! It took me a few times of reading this to understand who it was. That's a great mementoAs staid in the Audi magazine Winter 2013 View attachment 180992 :

SQ5 on our usual "home/hospital" and/or "hospital/home" run is showing 38mpg from a 'cold' start - oh so similar to our previous A1 - so no complaints here; and oh so easy to drive...
Good lad, none of that poxy fuel saving mumbo jumbo lolOh dear, now much closer to 28 than 38 but still above 30mpg overall; now way tooooooooo old to care...
Are you thinking of selling on the RS3? Good to hear your loving the SQ5....great machine.Update: had ALL four brake discs PRO-CUT a couple of weeks back just to eliminate inner and outer wear 'lips' (@ £40/disc). My front discs had something like a 0.2mm (0.008") lip on both the outside in inside diameter(s) and both inside and outside faces. New discs are specified at 36mm thick with a minimum thickness of 34mm: after pro-cut these are now 35.5mm thick.
Then fitted a NEW set (front and rear) of Ferodo Eco-Green brake pads; FDB4969 front and FDB4190 rear @ £127.00 (eBay buyanycarpart) both sets.
Results: Lots and lots of positive 'bite' and minimal and I do mean minimal brake dust.
And now after 250-miles these Ferodo Eco-Green brake pads are absolutely superb and improving; highly recommended...
Oh, and new dust covers for the rear brake calipers, the original ones were blistering under the paint, tsk...
GREAT car this 2016 diesel SQ5, does everything - for us!: still not using the RS3 and or TT much...

@45bvtc - Can't believe I missed this thread !
Your new SQ5 is an absolute stunner John ! Congrats to you both
There's one almost identical to yours (with the exception of there's having the running boards on) & it always catches my eye
PS I do have rather a soft spot for sepango bleu mind ...
Our old S4 -
Thanks Col, we were very lucky to find it and are very, very, very happy with it: our only question was the interior but having lived with it for a few months have zero complaints. I'm just amazed how this machine can be hustled down the back lanes. We'll maybe give the RS3 a (hospital) run on Friday, maybe...
Oh, and the running boards for us were a no no - a bu**er to step over getting in and out...
And that S4 is a stunner
Our Sepang and Cornflower...
Supposed to step on the running boards and not over John
