2008 A5 S-Line Avus Silver Pearl 3.2L 6MT
Doing this very late in the game but ecrew inspired me. Chron is prob not correct but it was hard to go back and line pics up with mods. Enjoy!

Just brought her home 7/2010.
Tint- 5% and 35% windshield



Previous owner removed rear rings...I picked up new emblem and replaced.
He also blacked out the front rings...went back to chrome.
Removed s-line fender badges as well as rear A5 and 3.2 badges.

Picked up Hartmann anthracite reps 20x9 et40 with 255/35/20 Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S from Achtuning. Can't say enough about Skyler and Dion and the service Achtuning provides. Thanks guys.



Also picked up H&R OE springs, H&R 10mm and 15mm spacers and oem center caps from Achtuning.







Moved the 15mm to the front and got 20mm for the rear.





Black optic S5 grill with black optic fog trims.



Picked up a second hand AWE mid muffler, removed both rear mufflers and ran 2.5" SS pipe to the tips.

[aLTTP]

everyone is doing build threads. i'd do one, but no pics. makes me wanna trade in for stock.

you're in the monkey suit?

[Mops@Nemesis]

Nope, Kris Stokes maybe...not sure. Stacey and I did not drive 10 hours to sit in a tent and get twisted so we were not around when the monkey was lol. Got plenty twiisted later and crashed a couple wedding parties at the hotel that night. Baders peoples know how to get down lol.

[B6UltraSport]

Looks great Ben, I love what you have done to it! You have new mods planned?

[Staz]

i like mop !!! i like a lot !!!!!! .. what else do u have planned ? ecodes ? nothing to replace that s5 badge with ?

[Okan509]

relly lol -

Okan509 for recommending them

Which wheels do you like better now, having both for some time?

[GSS5]

Everyone's doing build threads! Looking good Mop, although i don't see how the gorilla picture is relevant. lol.

[aLTTP]

i think he just likes to show how raf is the missing link.

now, when is the quad exhaust coming? this is something i've never noticed.

[Mops@Nemesis]

Looks great Ben, I love what you have done to it! You have new mods planned?

Thanks Ryan! No plans now...working on a subi I picked up a couple months ago. Congrats again on the RS4...one of the best designs ever.

Thanks staz, yea I hate that badge...which I could just remove and not replace. Looked off and on. Maybe go with a blacked out s-line one. No ecodes man...too damn high. Toyed with black window trim, darker rear valence and wrapping the roof but talk myself out of it.

haha Okan, had to. I like the design of the CK's better but the darker finish of the Hartmanns.

Had to do it Greg lol. I have a better one but will not be posting it. Tried to post teky but would not load.

Quad exhaust Ant?

[Beast]

very nice mop wow

[seanj130]

So is this an A5 Sline? Or an S5? The badge on the grill is throwing me off. I am looking at your signature, but it says A5. Please don't flame, it could be that he had an A5 and upgraded to an S5 without changing the signature.

Either way the car looks great! Hopefully, everyone is ok after the accident with the semi.

the one of him taking a leak? lol.

[ActivS5]

Great read, Mop. I'm glad your car wasn't considered a total loss and you brought it out like a champ!

[ssv22]

she looks great! crisp pics :)

[Wah]

Looking good mop, looking good! And the exhaust set-up sounds exotic.
Now I definitely need to open up a thread of my journey

[Beast]

hey moP ur tint is 5%! :O

Sorry, its an A5 s-line. Useless info but Avus Silver Pearl was only ever available on the A5 and only in s-line trim. Yea, I do not like badges and have been lazy about finding something go replace with. The A5 black optic grill was not avail when I got my car and that gloss/chrome grill had to go. And thanks sean, yea know one was in the car. No injuries but my heart.

Thanks Joe/Beast.

Greg...;)

Not nearly as well done as yours Chris but thanks. Yea, Im glad it worked out. All the damage was remove and replace and I was able to keep it. Didnt want to go through another search.

Thanks ssv, lol.

Thanks Sir Wah, we have are going to have similar stories in the end...except you have much more modding to speak of. Do tell sometime!

[S5xy]

These build threads are sick! Loving your car Mopsta!

What's next on the list?

[Ogalt]

Wow Mop, your car is gorgeous. G-d looking at all these S5s are making my wait, so much worse hahaha.

[seph]

Looks great Mop!

Wow Mop, your car is gorgeous. G-d looking at all these S5s are making my wait, so much worse hahaha.

Mop's car is an A5.

[Dasquade]

Seeing the before picture and after, i think they did a very good job. Glad for you the car got a second life!
Somehow i still think the original RS4 rimes looked better (in its color) but the current ones have a cool look to them aswell.

[TheDapperDriver]

always loved ur car man
great thread

[mr shickadance]

very very ttaseful and classy car, this question maybe stupid, but given that your car is an a5 and mine is an s5, could i expect the same amount of drop with the same set of springs you used? (i know the kit is for an a5, and i would need springs that are matched for the s5's weight, but my question is can i expect the same type of drop)

[Mops@Nemesis]

Same part # I Believe shicka. Same drop but you will get a bit more in the front. Refer to ecrews car when he was running the gunmetal oem 19's. Thats what it will look like. And thats my only gripe with them...wish the front was lower but throwing in a 4.2 to get that additional 1/4" would be a pricey mod;) And thank you for the compliment!

[mr shickadance]

the front i guess how i could see you would want it dropped it hair more, but personally i think the height is spot on

[Audiforumuser]

Great thread! Car looks so much better now than stock, nice work. It inspired me to step it up with my car and buy new wheels! Still partial to those RS4 wheels though, they really worked well with your paint.

Did you install the rotors and pads yourself? I've been considering doing this myself but just haven't had the time to research it.

[Mops@Nemesis]

S5xy, thanks man...yours looks damn good as well:) Love the f-14 matte black. Next, idk...prob done till spring. Would like to black out the window trim, respray BBS in a darker color and coils possibly. Getting rid of that damn grill badge for sure haha.

Thanks Oren, thats kind...and yea its an A5.

Thanks Seph!

Appreciate it Dasquade...yea they did a great job...the lid is a bit of in that pic but had it corrected. Im with ya on the rs4's regarding the color. I like the fit and finish of the BBS but prefered the contrast of the Hartmann's. Also really like the thickness of the BBS spokes. Refer the pic of drivers side next to curb...the spokes run deep...looks nice. Your avant is hands down the nicest imo btw. Great build!

Thanks Bader...same to you!

Audiforumuser, thank you Sir...wish I had your wheels tho haha. Yea, really considering a re-spray now. Just concerned if they quality will be as good as the BBS finish and cost of course. Actually did not diy. Usually do but they were a gift so I treated myself to having my shop do it.

[Beast]

Mop just leave the S5 badge on the grill, just say thats its the S5 with the V6, a5=2.0 :D

[Staz]

limited edishun

[Subfixer]

Nice progression. Looks stunning in the current configuration!

[Mops@Nemesis]

Can't do it Joe....not a poser. I like zero badges.
Thanks sub!

Got around to taking pics of the hoen xenon fog match bulbs and Volant intake. The two screws are where the cheesy Volant badges use to be if curious.

[FaceSmA5h]

This picture looks so strong. You should call yourself BROOMSTA instead of MOPSTA.

[ExhaustNote]

looks great!

[teky929rr]

Hands down Mop your shit is tight...no homo.

[Mops@Nemesis]

Thank you my hawaiian friend. What you mean is its tight for middle class button pusher status. I cannot even spell DPE:) Its always homo with you Chi.

[crisp74]
