Hi all,

So I’ve owned an Audi A3 since 2017, and have decided to upgrade to the A5. I was originally looking at the A4 but came across a mint 2016 A5.

It should be ready to collect by next weekend.

I’m looking forward to catching up with a few posts on the forums.

Thanks

Matt

Thanks Simon for the welcome
I picked the car up on Wednesday, it’s a 2016 A5 S-Line Black Edition Quattro 2litre diesel with only 31k on the clock. Very very clean car inside and out. Extremely happy with it.
At first I was unsure about spending the money so I think that suppressed the excitement however now it’s done, I am over the moon and love driving it.
It has all the usual black edition upgrades like the 19 inch diamond cut wheels, black grills, tints, and the B&O sound system.
It drive’s amazingly compared to my old A3 which is now sold.
Pictures to follow

Here’s one picture, not the best with technology!!

I’ve had in deep cleaned today, waxed etc so I was just wondering what products do people use on theirs.
Cheers

Nice one, looks great!

Is that stock suspension, looks lowered to a good stance to me.

I use the Zaino range.

Hey,

no not lowered, well not that I am aware off. Just stock suspension on the Black Edition. Will post a few more pictures that I took today.

Like the black, its the best colour for a deep reflective gloss imho, but so difficult to keep it like that

Bilt and Hamber here. Autofoam for washing and the auto wheel cleaner is excellent for the alloys.

I gave up on tyre gels and now I use autoglym tyre dressing spray.

For the seal, I have been using Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic spray on - which is ok for beading but the finish is not deep enough in my view.

I've been using Collinite 915 wax for about 20 years now - its a very hard wearing wax. Decent gloss. Good on a black paint. It definitely worth having in your garage cupboard as a decent application should last most of the winter (if you are careful when washing).

Hey, thanks man. I will look into those products.
The car looks awesome when it’s just been washed etc but yes trying to keep it like that is a pain!!
