I personally think she looks stunning as she is. Wow!!!

Im having a hard time seeing a blacked out the grill as an improvement when the silver accents the color incredibly well.

Really coming together nicely. A full black out of the front except maybe the rings will look very nice

Hi BreedsAs,
I just registered to admire the car. I like the 2 tone wheels so much, and I share the same taste with you.
I just got my white S5 Sportback as well, and wondering what I could do with her.
The S5 already looks great in the original shape, and I am running the stock 19-inch wheels. Looking to change to 20s though.

How do they(20s) look without the lowering springs?
I am worried about the lowering springs constantly since they could damage the stock suspension system(struts etc.).
How do you like the springs? Are you planning to change to a new coilover system or a sports struts soon?

Thank you guys!
I have been a bit worried about whether to get an all black grille (black Audi emblem). I am thinking it may make the front end too dark. Possibly.
I.may opt to get a black grille and emblem, with a silver surround instead. It just depends. The front end of the RS5 is awesome even with the all black grille.

Unfortunately, I never got pics of the 20s without the drop because I installed them at the same time!
I think these Sportbacks can pull it off without a drop though.
I think the 034 coils ride awesome. Very close to stock, but more sporty.
I do not have the sport suspension so the could won't be a harmful as they would have been on those.
Coilovers have.more adjustability for people that need that extra fine tuning, but for everyday drivers like me, the advantages are limited! Not worth the dramatic price difference.

I do however think coilovers are more worth it for tracked cars, are cars over 50k miles with worn struts.
