And so is mine! I love this color in the different light angles. I've been wanting an Audi A5/S5 since 2012 and finally got one!







As a side note what do yall think about getting the extended term premium warranty? The dealer offered 7 yrs/100k miles for 3900 or 7 yrs/120k miles (I drive a lot) for 4200. My main concern are the electronics. Stuff like the virtual cockpit is so new and unproven and I'm afraid if it randomly breaks down in 5 years then I'm screwed and it definitely won't be cheap to replace I'd imagine.

And where do you guys put the jack ? Right now it's just sitting in the back
Congrats!!! Don't know how I missed this post. I passed on the extended warranty. If you plan on keeping the car for more then 4-5 years then I would look at adding it before the manufacturer warranty expires. Not much more money but if you wait after the warranty expires then the price starts to skyrocket.

Unless beading is your #1 goal I really like Bead Maker as a topper.
have any pics?

Results:
1) I will be replacing the Pirelli A/S with a set of Nokian Snow Tires next fall!

2) This car is very quick to right itself in a deliberate spin out.
Looking real nice. The RS grill is so badass.

I think that's what I might do because I do plan on keeping my car for a minimum of 5 years and hopefully closer to 10.

No pics of the Bead Maker beading, but some crummy pics of Bead Maker gloss:

Mini JCW (fully corrected paint with CQuartz and HydrO2 topped with Bead Maker)



4Runner (decontaminated but swirly paint with Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic topped with Bead Maker)



S5 SB (uncorrected and not decontaminated, with only Bead Maker applied)



For reference, the below is how CQuartz UK (white car) and HydrO2 (gray car) bead. Bead Maker isn't this tight.

It is flat black / I applied 2 coats / I bead blasted the stock bumper (lightly) and did not use a primer.
