right im new here
recently purchased my first german car
2007
s5 4.2 manual in meteor grey
+ a few goodies
im looking to change a few things in the near future

im thinking all black honeycomb grill
black oems 111
dropped 35mm
straight through catback (miltek non res fitted currently)
any takers on this ?
some lightly smoked front & rear lights
carbon fibre rear diffuser
carbon fibre mirror caps (possibly)
carbon fibre front splitter
+ i need a new engine start/stop button as the aluminium overlay has lifted slightly from the plastic if anyone can reccomend a replacement?

possibly looking at a reiger rs5 style front bumper if the price is right
any thoughts & or other options ?
cheers

CF diffuser from Deval is stunning and matching CF mirrors really work with it too but you have a meteor grey car, Im trying to picture how that will look?

I like the other mods you are planning but if you already have a non res Miltek do you really need a straight through? that will be crazy loud won't it?

before i bought the car i test drove a completely standard one
the miltek is a bit louder & certainly sounds nice but my uncle has a jag xkr8 with straight through from the manifold & sounds amazing! taking this into account i was very keen to whip off the backboxes & see how she sounded to which myself & the rest of the guys in the workshop smiled from ear to ear on start up my decision was pretty much made but i am unsure on how to go about it ive been quoted ÂŁ250 to remove boxes from the miltek system or ÂŁ550 for a full straight through build (catback) if i have the full system built i should be able to sell the miltek to fund it or just take the hit throw the miltek boxes in the bin & pay half the price
ive had a look on google found a few pics of carbon on meteor not many people have done it but ill agree the deval parts look the nuts! i can see myself owning this for a fair while so itll more than likely be a ongoing project to slowly change the car ive worked out roughly everything should cost me between 3-4k thats without tyres & reiger bumper ofcourse

cheers fellas no doubt ill have a poke around on here later & do some reading see what you boys have come up with
ill only be starting small no engine work except a terraclean
power still feels immense at the moment coming from a 15 second 106 gti 120bhp ? just get a decent looking set of wheels new tyres get the exhaust sounding right drop it down a subtle amount to fill arches light smoke lights & maybe a rs grill all before audis in the park i hope my wallet allows me to achieve this haha
