Delivery Day
Couple things I did that's not shown: All trim blacked out, 034 springs, RS grille
Painted Calipers
Powdercoated the stock 19 Flower Pedal Wheels
Had a flat so tested out some peelers
My old collection
This is a pretty significant point of the car, I converted the headlights from the ugly Xenons to LEDs, being the first car I had no support, and was pretty tough and expensive.
But it is done and oh so worth it.
Some winter shots
Ran some custom 2 tone powdercoated S5 rotors 19x9 ET33 on 265/35 PS4S
PPF being redone. Doing it the right way, no pre cuts.
Another big project on this car, BBK. I've always had a fetish for BBK, so I went and sourced some calipers and made it work. This is when the S4 just rolled out so there wasn't many ways of getting the S4 Akebonos 6 pot other than buying brand new.
I found some infamous 17z 6 pot and wanted to make it work, however I needed radial mount calipers since the spindle of the B9 is shaped weirdly that in order to make the 17zs to work, Id need like 400mm disc. So I sold those. The guy that was making my brackets had some Brembo GT8s lying around, which is radially mounted, so I bought those and got to work.
Brake Disc wise I chose last gen S4/S5 size disc, slightly bigger at 345x30. Reason behind is my car wasn't fast, and I don't track, using 365+ will look good, but the added weight isnt worth it. Plus 345x30 has so many options, which I like. I chose Stoptech's slotted rotors paired with Hawks HPS 5.0 pads. Must say, the initial bite is not as good as OEM, but once I step on it, man do they ever grab.
The whole BBK set up ended up weighing almost the same (off by 0.X pounds) as the stock set up, which I'm happy, next would be running some Girodisc rotors to further reduce rotational mass...and they look frigging SEXY!
Another hurdle after installing the BBK, is my S5 rotor wheels didn't clear the brakes
, so I had to put the flower pedals back on, with 10mm spacers while I hunt for a new set of wheels. 
Bought the OZs off my buddy and had it refinished in Satin Black. Sold the S5 rotors to ScubaA4dude.
Spec: 19x9 ET42, 10mm spacers on 255/35 PS4S
Some more pics
Mid March 2020 I flashed my ECU with Unitronic Stage 1 while I wait for 034's server to be ready. Very pleased with the results.
A month later I changed out my sparkplugs and coilpacks to the RS3 ones, cleaned my K&N filter and installed the P3 Gauge.
