    I wouldnt personally buy an S5 and then put an A5 grille on it. I also dont like the black wheels.

    Well.....if you want to "black down" your car, why keep the shiny window frames? Looks borderline stupid. This car is magnificent in black with shiny details in mirrors, window frames, air intake and in particular wheels. Makes the car look exclusive. This black crap makes it look cheap and/or Rieger. Good work, mate.

    Not that bad..., but I'm sure that is offering some ''black optics'' package, so if anybody wants ''phantom'' look of its car, he can ask Audi to do that for him...

    Yeah me too.
    Also that picture and your comment got me thinking on how good it would look debadged and matte black.

    Me too... It's would be nicer to tease people with a S5 without the badges.
    Anyway I have to say that car is so beautiful!

    True. Also, seems weird to debadge incompletely. Either leave them all on or take them all off.

    S5 also has horizontal bars but the vertical bars are painted silver/chrome which makes the horizontal bars dissappear
    But a closer look made clear that this is an A5 grill.

    Very nice car! I'm so sick of the alu/crome mirror, every second car has them now. Is there a complete black optic package available for A5/S5?
