These side cover pieces are cheaper on https://www.e-acca.com. Even with shipping factored in.

I have a set of the side covers I can't use if anybody wants them. They're already stateside. $41+actual shipping.

These did not fit. Nothing against you, but I should have done my research.

Can someone tell me what actually fits on my 2018 S5 Cabriolet in regards to these engine side covers? It seemed like there was an extra christmas tree plug that had no where to go on those other ones and there were these wavy line protrusions near the clips that had nothing to slide into....

Depending on build date the car may not have a hole in the sheet metal for one tab. It needs to be trimmed off, but it does not affect the functionality of the covers.

There are different p/ns for A5 v A4. I would assume the cabrio is the same as the A5 SB. I listed the p/n for the A5 earlier in this thread. Do the p/ns you received match for A/5?

My side covers have finally shown up on the continent. Dispatched on 9/25 and made it to USPS on 10/17 in Chicago. I hope to post my engine bay pics soon. Now to contemplate the Eventuri CF intake and the Capristo CF lock cover.

I'm not sure this would be $2,000 well spent. But, then again the initial investment has always been in question. Thoughts on the available intakes? I feel like I'm perpetually contemplating my V6 not being a V8 and there is no amount of investment that will bridge that gap.

I have the AWE CF intake and love the look and sound. They run around $859 so a cheaper alternative to consider. I also purchased the "stick on" CF stripes from ECS for my engine cover and although they aren't the full "monty" they do look sweet. Sorry no pictures to share as I am currently separated from my RS5 staying in my California home. Btw also installed the AWE touring exhaust and the Racechip GTS Black if you want more info, happy to discuss. Lets just say an RS5 with nearly 550hp is a game changer

I’d like more please. I was looking at MTM’s stage 3 with them claiming improvement to 610 hp but for $28k. The stage 1 and 2 are much more reasonable at under $2,500 with improvement to 560 hp.

I would take race chip claim numbers with a big grain of salt
