Hello from Doha - Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro - pics

[Auditography]

Hi there.

Thought I was going to post some pics of my Q5 3.2 Quattro S-Tronic. Bought it last year, and have modded it a little recently.

Exterior mods:
- S-line front (Nov 2012)
- S-line rear (Dec 2012)
- S-line grille (Nov 2012)
- 20" RS6 wheels with 255/45 (Nov 2012)
- Xenon fog-lights 6000K (Jan 2012)
- Tinted windows 50% Titanium (Jan 2012)
- LED in the number plate lights (Jan 2012)
- de-badged (Feb 2013)

Engine/power mods:
- AWE Tuning non-resonated exhaust system (Feb 2013)
- AWE Tuning resonated downpipes (March 2013)
- UPS Motorsports heat shield / intake system (June 2013)

To come:
- facelift taillights
- ATM ECU Chip


For now, pics:














And a little before/after the S-line front/grille + 20" RS6 changes:




Update April 2013:

The difference before/after with the S-line rear:







Here are some pics with the S-line bumper and the handmade AWE resonated exhaust exhaust in place:




And after that, the debadge:


And finally:
It's actually amazing what amazing sound the car makes now.
Here is a video for you. Hold on tight and turn up your volume!

Great Q5! Your car in the beginning was just like mine. IMO you should go to the s-line rear bumper too.

Thank you!
Well, thing is that I like the non-sline rear bumper better then the S-line one :) That's why I only changed the front.

Very nice ride! Even has the sport seats as well as the S-Tronic.

Very nice pics and Photoshops as well showing the before and afters. Good job.

car is real clean. would seriously benefit from a drop though handling + looks (especially looks)

A drop? An SUV? What's the point of dropping an SUV, when the biggest reason I bought a Q5, was to have a higher ride height, on the sandy/desert roads of Doha...

I have a different opinion... hehehe
I have changed the rear bumper to the s-line one... was one of the first mods I made...

About your Q5 it's very similar with mine... the seats are the same too... :)

Beautiful!!! Cant wait for more updates

[Boom]

Nice Whip. The city almost looks like Bahrain.

Some more pics from today:





And finally, I dont think anybody can argue that Audi hit a jackpot with the Q5, when it comes to sexyness and sleak lines. While the competitiors, such as Mercedes-Benz, chose a more corny/boxy option:

I thought my Intake System from APR was on the way already, but look what I got for an asnwer today:

"Unfortunately, we are still unable to process the order. We cannot process any order with an international IP address, international billing information, international shipping address, or any order that is intended to be take overseas. I apologize about the inconvenience but this order will have to be placed with one of our international distributors."

DAMN IT!!!
I was going to pay for this, and let my cousin who visits me in Doha in 2 weeks, take it with him. International distributors? You dont have any here! Im just mad now.

Thanx spijun.
But that's still not in my Qatar. It's in Dubai or Saudi Arabia. Getting stuff from there, is more expencive than gettin it from USA.

I've now also decided to go for the rear S-line bumper :) Will keep you updated.

[Auditography]

Okay folks.
This is what has happened last 2 months.

I upgraded also to the S-line rear, and got the non-resonated handmade exhaust system from AWE Tuning.

So, first of all the difference before/after with the S-line rear:






Here are some pics with the new S-line bumper and the exhaust in place:




And finally:
It's actually amazing what amazing sound the car makes now.
Here is a video for you. Hold on tight and turn up your volume!

So, this is the last updates (that were spread in different threads)

The resonated downpipes for the non-resonated AWE Exhaust:



The de-dadge:



And some pics in the desert:






Next up:
* USP Motorsport Heat shield / Intake system
* ATM Dubai ECU Chip Tuning

To reach the final goal of 330hp.

[D_Frost]

Really love the desert pictures...

Really love the desert pictures...

Thanks man! I'm soon off to Dubai (6h drive from Doha), to install the intake system w. heat shield, and also do the ECU Chip tuning with ATM Dubai :)

[D_Frost]

Will be really interested to see the HP/TQ numbers that you get on the 3.2 :)

Yup! I've been told that with the AWE Exhaust + USP intake system / heat shield + ATM Dubai ECU chip, I will end up on aprox 330hp. Can't wait :) Hopefully I can do sub 6 seconds to 100km/h (62mph)

[VroomVroom]

Agreed on the desert pics - love 'em! I can't wait to hear about the 3.2L tuning action. I'd honestly given up on it, just assuming no one wanted to touch it.

Well, I had to look long and deep, but I found them. And I never want to be "one of everybody", I always wanna be different. So, when a same Q5 3.2 is gonna pull up next to me, and I will smoke him hard, he must remember me :P Haha, that is my strategy.

[Auditography]

Some pictures taken today:









I will also post a short video with the resonated AWE exhaust singing, like I did with the non-resonated, later tonight.

[D_Frost]

Beautiful scenery :)

[migsan]

Fantastic pics... I love so much the desert one's... Congrats!

[Auditography]

Me and my friend (posing on the pic), are now planning a trip Doha-Dubai to the ATM Dubai, for the last step to the 330hp, with the ECU Chip :)

[eKKoMan]

I absolutely love the car!!! S Line changes everything!

It really does :)
I can't even look at the photos when the car was non-S-line.. It's horrible!

[Auditography]

So, here are some pics from this week. And it's the last ones with these tail lights, since I'm getting my facelift ones tomorrow :)

[ThunderDent]

Nice. Looking forward to the facelift lights & more pics!

[SpeedyFred]

Digging the ride! Love what you've done with it. Nice pics too

Guys, just wanted to tell you that I have created an Instagram account called "MyQ5andDoha".
It was an idea that I have had since a long time, but wanted to create a website or a facebook like page. Have no idea why I didnt think of Instagram.
Anyways, the idea is to show how the car has changed since I bought in it late 2011, and this shown in high quality camera pictures, in locations of Doha, Qatar and it's beautiful locations.
So feel free to follow! The account has already reached a nice popularity over a couple of days :)
