    What did you do with the orange marker? Did you vinyl/tint it?
    20s will look awesome and after measuring the rear strut and edge of my rim, I think 11s will fit if someone wanted to go that route. I removed the headlights and separated them to get to the Amber reflector. It just pops off. Thankfully no oven needed unlike a past Audi ive had. The only thing is the led behind the reflector is Amber. I would like to turn it off with vagcom or Obd eleven if possible. It's not bad since it's a single LED but think it would look cleaner at night.

    No rubbing issues with your setup at all (not sure what your tire setup is though)? I would be happy with 10" width on wheels but I heard that wheel fitment is limited on this B9 A5/S5 platform. On the headlights, nice work. I did that once a long time ago with my first car but would be too chicken to try it with a new car lol.

    In any case, fantastic work. Your car is the best looking B9 S5 I have seen so far. Gives me some inspiration for when I get mine in.

    Thank you, I dont have rubbing but I did remove that one front fender liner screw that's historically notorius for making noise just in case. I also have one of the more narrower 275s on the car so the tire stretch on the 10.5 definitely helps.

    Very very nice!
