Qi's Estoril Blue S5

**starfall** · 02-10-2015 05:03 PM

Hey guys,

I've been lurking on the forum for more than a year. I didn't want to create my thread until now because I don't want the car look too shabby, especially without Ecodes lol.
Also I am not good at taking pictures of my car. Sometimes I feel my car looks so good in a scene and I have to take a picture of it, then it turns out the photo doesn't show what I see at all

So after owning my car for almost a year, I still only have limited amount of photos of it.
But finally I'm doing this because I want to officially meet you guys.

Options: Premium+, S troinc, Estoril Blue, Black Nappa Leather, Technology pkg, Black Optic Pkg, B&O, carbon fiber trim, sport diff

Delivery Day
Sitting in the showroom

Traded in my A4

Some photos when she was completely stock

That huge fender gap

Could't bear it so I put H&R street performance coilovers and 15f/20r H&R spacers on. Now she has some proper stance(still not proper, but better). Also switched to rs grill.

Went to MN car and coffee back in October and the sponsor's photographer took this one.

By all means! Lets see those BC's

**starfall** · 02-10-2015 07:28 PM

Next thing was the almighty Ecodes!

I think they work very well for estoril blue.

I didn't want to reveal my wheels yet, but Mops spoilered it

So I'll leave a teaser here

**Lexura** · 02-10-2015 07:54 PM

Hey Starfall, I am also in MN and just recently bought an S5. If I may ask, who did your mods i.e. your springs and spacers? I am currently in communication with IMOLA to install springs and spacers. I might just do the RS5 grill as well. Good thing you are changing wheels or we will be twins. Your S5 looks very nice by the way! Lastly, can I see your car in person? Your sport springs are intriguing me as I am set on the OE ones. Thanks!

I have the coilovers not springs. People say if you go springs, you will need coilovers eventually. So I went for coilovers at the first time.
And of course we can meet up, PM me.

Those wheels are gonna look amazing. Can't wait to see 'em on. What rubber did you put on them?

**Maxxis** · 02-11-2015 01:16 AM

beautiful, very beautiful car

**sirmium** · 02-11-2015 05:10 AM

**ians** · 02-11-2015 05:58 AM

Lower, RS grill & Ecode completely perfect up the looks of an already beauty!

**bknewtype** · 02-11-2015 06:02 AM

car looks good. with black optics package, no need for chicken wire grille

**Tommy@Nemesis** · 02-11-2015 06:12 AM

Excellent color choice and nice work with the mods. Looking forward to the wheel pics

a wild tommy spotting

**05blacks4** · 02-11-2015 07:02 AM

is that the OEM RS grill? How much and is it just bolt right on no modification required?

It's replica. OEM ones will need modification to fit our cars.

We have the same taste on that. I have thought a lot about it after I put it on.
There will be something you'll like soon..

does it go...psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

**starfall** · 02-11-2015 10:21 AM

Here comes the wheels!
BC HB09, 19x9.5 et20. Finish is black brushed.
I kept my 255/35/19 conti dws on the rotors. They are a bit stretched on 9.5 width wheels.
5mm spacers in the rear.

Front wheels with medium concavity

Rear wheels with deep concavity

That's all the photo storage I have. You are officially on the same page as I am.
There won't be many pics coming because taking picture in MN winter isn't fun at all.

I only updated cosmetic change according to time, in the meanwhile I've also done some performance mods which I can't remember which happened when.
Alu Kreuz, 034 trans mount, giac stage 2 with pulley, awe touring exhaust with resonated downpipes, eurocode trufit intake(didn't like whines, starting to like them now, so might switch to roc-euro when it's on sale)

Agree and IMO even without the BO, the S5 grill looks much better than the RS5 grill.

**LimaSierra** · 02-11-2015 10:27 AM

Looks super with the BC's!

Love the Black Brushed with Estoril + BO!

tats just silly talk

**Mops@Nemesis** · 02-11-2015 11:11 AM

She looks great buddy! I'm excited for the change coming soon ;) Very excited actually.

Actually I forgot to give huge thanks to Mops for helping me out selecting wheels and specs and cutting me great deals on BC forged wheels. He answered all my noob questions when I knew nothing about wheels.
I really appreciate it buddy!

**Mops@Nemesis** · 02-11-2015 07:31 PM

Glad to help anytime!

**SixShifter** · 02-11-2015 08:38 PM

I think the black optics package favors the use of the black RS5 grill ... wasn't available for the 13's so I went with the gunmetal piece as I thought it worked better overall with the other factory pieces

**GSS5** · 02-12-2015 12:54 AM

ecodes make such a huge difference, especially on darker colored cars. looks good.
