    Nice unique color on your S5! It changes color from a bluish grey (under the shade) to a silvery blue (under sunlight).
    Current: 2016 S5 in Sepang Blue with Technik Package.

    Wow love it! Reminds me of a BMW color called "Bluewater Metallic" - very unique and classy - would love to see it on an RS5! :)

    cant say I've ever seen one before, which is really strange since it's such a beautiful and unique color.

    Looks like Monsoon grey in the shade

    I contacted Audi North America, and they confirmed it was the only one in the US produced in this color for 2013.

    Appreciate it! And you are right about the color change. This car definitely has two distinct personalities.

    Correct! Once the wheels go on, final adjustments to the ride height will be made.

    It use to be part of the color pallet on the B8 A4/A5 cars and I may have seen it on a B8 S5 before. It's a pretty neat color overall and definitely unique.

    Huge thanks to Mops! Such an easy transaction and super fast shipping. Unfortunately they will not be going on until after the holidays, but was too excited not to post a teaser!

    Me too! Its harder when they are sitting in your room and you cant mount them yet. Trying to be responsible and get past the holidays before dropping the extra cash for tires. We will see if I can hold out!

    Beautiful car and colour!! Love how it gives you different looks depending on the light.

    Can't wait to see those wheels on, I think it will be a really unique contrast.

    Very unique color, love it. Excellent seat choice, too. If it were mine I probably wouldn't have gone with peelers, but to each their own!

    I want the RS5 grill but dont want a black one. Nervous that the chrome ones will not look good either. Cant justify the price without knowing for sure.

    E-codes... Those are for sure on the list of planned additions!

    My two cents - I'd say leave the current grill as is. Love an RS grill, but every one and they mamas do an rs grill - the S5 grill loos so good as is and it retains those perfect OEM lines. Ecodes are a must, but yeah no grille needed in my very humble opinion.

    This what it’s been missing .. perfect color rims to match the paint and the right drop .. outstanding

    I also agree with HMS on the RS grille .. unless it’s the Quattro version that’s not as common

    I was very hesitant to go with the gloss black grill as the exterior color is so light in the sun, but decided it would be easy enough to go back if I didnt like it. What do y'all think?

    I dig it.

    Maybe a dumb question but i saw in one pic you had the stock front plate mounted to the stock s5 grill. Other pics you had it off - did you just remove and plug the holes or did you another s5 grill to replace it?

    I can't stand the front plate but i know it's drilled in so not sure how bad it looks with it off.

    I took the plate off and ran it with the holes until putting this one on. That was part of the reason I decided to make the change.

    i may end up doing the same - car looks great btw really dig those wheels with the new paint scheme. Did you get the RS grill through ECS or somewhere else? Hard pill to swallow at $1k...but i'm coming from modding bikes where everything is cheaper haha
