Working on better pics (instead of previous camera phone). I dont have a side view with this wheel set but with the previous non-Audi wheels. Plenty of room to install virtually any wheel on these cars.

Thanks - Non Audi but incorporated Audi caps. I credit a lot of it to the lowering an inch and dark tint that sets it off this car. I'll post more info once I've taken clearer pics.

I will miss my s5 very much when my a7 arrives,
My biggest beef was also the that the cabin does not live up to the s5 interior, I also have ibis white, magma/carbon and it really has me spoiled... I went with the ibis white nougat brown Matt aluminum interior with s-line interior so hopefully it will be ok.
Its really hard giving up the s5 though, I've been driving very aggressively lately knowing it's going to be gone soon
I'm also looking to go with the abt chip to get some power back

To be honest I have been quite surprised at how the car has kept its shine since the application of the Glare paint sealant. Yes the car can get dirty quickly on the roads after a rain shower, but you get that of course with any car, just more so with black. If I didn't mind cleaning my car then I certainly wouldn't have gone for black. But the effort is worth it and I have stuck religiously to the cleaning instructions given to me by the detailing company that I used, and 5 weeks later I still do not have a swirl mark on the car. I agree that black cars are not for everyone but the combination of the privacy glass, large alloys and phantom black seems to give the car a lot of road presence.
Would you mind sharing the details from the detailer. Would like to do the same on mine.
Thanks a lot!

Replacing a component (known as a chip) in the ECU with an aftermarket, modified one to give the engine/transmission better/different characteristics is commonly referred to as "chipping". If you have that done, your car is now "chipped".
This has nothing to do with glass or paint damage.
