  • So big modifications have started on my Audi S5 V8. The RS5 bodykit arrived and i tackled fitting it. It was difficult in some places but overall the end result was worth it! Looking alot better now it has been lowered on BC Racing coilovers with the RS5 B8 Body Kit.

    My first comment, I’ve been following you since you got the S5 and have to say your doing a grand job, definitely not worried about getting stuck in and getting over problems, I’ve been a mechanic for 30 years now and you are doing a good job, I wouldn’t worry about the armchair mechanics, none of them have a clue what they are on about, just think they do

    Hi mate, just subbed, I've already seen your previous content and I must say, although I do not own Audi nor BWM, I like watching how you modify your cars. Plus I'm a big fan of how honest each content is, as many others already mentioned, you do not edit your mistakes and if you do not know how to do sth, you do not pretend you do, it's really something! Stay genuine, looking forward to future movies & good luck with your cars!

    Hi, I have S6 black edition and purchased aftermarket front black rings to replace stock chrome - size and keyway weren't exact but I got them on my car OK. When looking vertically down on installation, small gaps can be seen but from front on, mod looks fine and is a good 'un. Bear in mind audi are continually changing their keyway pattern precisely to deter aftermarket mods, so keep persevering with your purchased rings, Really enjoying your vids and your can-do attitude shines through beautifully, cheers !
