Hai's A5 build threat

[hai pham]

Hello, i just want to share with you guys my baby. I got mine A5 in 2013 but i didnt really do anything until last month when i got hit and run in the parking lot. My front and back bumper got dents and scratches. I figured that i have to spend money to fix both front and back bumper so why not spend a few more to give my car a brand new look . My tires also worn out too so i bought a wheels and tires package from getyourwheels.com Here is a few pictures of my car when i got it and when it got hit.

Who doesn't love a good build threat?

Ah jk, good choice on the M580s

[Vanimal]

Nice are those 20", look it! That's the exact rim I'm looking to order for my 2010 Deep Sea Blue S5 here soon if I don't stick it out with my OEM 19" star rims. Which I love but I do like the 580's as well. How's the ride on 20"? I can't tell if your stock wheels are 18 or 19". I'd be going from stock 19 to 20", so it should be insanely different rise quality wise.

My stock are 19". The ride on 20" are the same as 19", nothing different. And yes get the 20", your car will look totally different ;)

Front end looks nice...not to sure about the RS5 badge though.

hahaha i know i forgot to tell the shop to take it off when they install it. :P when they call me, everything is already done. Oh well :)

Agree on the great looks but bad badge. Very easy to pop it off though! Which bumper is that?

M580s look great by the way.

[fasteddy91]

Looking good...throw some blades and your set.

[hai pham]

side skirts added

Looks good.

Needs low. Lots of it.

[joelp8835]

Did you use glue for the blades or they rivoted into the car? If glue, which one?

[fasteddy91]

Nice job on the blades. Lower that thing and install a quad tipped exhaust 80)

[DreDay]

So far so good. Wheels look nice. Low will make a huge difference

S***! You didn't waste any time...lol

[Rshane]

Must be mod-bud season; I just got bit too. Car looks great! Any plans to lower it?

[diego_demarco]

Looks great! May I ask where you purchased the bumper from?

[shonseb]

Great build threat so far, I agree with everyone else. As this point lowering the car would make the biggest difference in the look of the car and really set it off.

[bknewtype]

looks good. love the alum front lip

curious about the quality of the duraflex side blades. considered those vs oem, but my oem was only 40$ more from the dealer lol

[bknewtype]

I used 3m windshield adhesive. no way I would drill holes onto the side of the car

[Sweep]

S***! You didn't waste any time...lol

I was just think the same thing, I remember OP's first posts a couple weeks(?) ago asking a bunch of questions now look at his car

I purchased the front from xenon-uk. The fitment is great, you spent an extra 200 bucks but it's worth the money. I saw one rieger front bumper at one body shop before and it just crap. Rieger is made out of cheap ABS plastic anyway. BTW i got the bumper for £1000 (originally £1300 shipping to the US included). I saw a lot of RS5 bumper conversion on ebay for $999 but i wouldnt trust it. You can give it a try if you want and save a few hundred bucks :)

Quality is crap but with paint on it doesnt look that bad. But i dont think you can really notice the different without looking close to it

[hai pham]

H&R coilovers are here need some advice on how low should i go for???

Haha I love the speed of this build. Very tasteful as well! With as clean as your car is I'd go about a finger gap on top of the wheel to the fender. Keep it classy.

[ssv22]

This build is definitely a threat to slow modders like me. Great going!
Just drop it till you rub and you are all set

[fasteddy91]

Man! Talk about a fast build. What rear bumper and diffuser are you going with?

[Powderhound]

Wow, mods are moving fast. I can see why this is a build threat! Car looks great so far, especially like how you matched the wheels, front lip, and side mirrors. Pretty sure you are gonna love that new exhaust too.

[Ldawg32]

Wow looks great. How much did the side skirts run you?

[FaceSmA5h]

Congrats on the car once again.
