Default Body Kit

Hi all, I'm a new proud owner of an 2010 S5 and I am already looking to make some mods... Has anyone bought/installed/seen on the street.. this body kit??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUDI-...m=180726990937

Looks pretty good to me but given the prices of other kits out there like Caractere and Reiger, the low price scares me a lil bit. Any feedback will be appreciated..

Thanks!

Especially something called "Desing" instead of Design.

Looks like your S5 will become a DeathRace machine with a ricer look. I say - Don't do it. Looks like the parts will fall off.

By from these guys http://www.namotorsports.net/detail....d/CAA5300110AB

I got my Caractare kit at an amazingly low price - and delivered on the date promised. (two extremely rare things for kits from Europe)

I know I sound like a commercial - but these guys are good


btw - had a Rieger kit back in the day - destroyed the fiberglass in a few months and it costs me a fortune to return the car to stock VERY LOW RIDER

I've always used http://lltek.com/

They have fair pricing, a great paint match program, and shipping times are precise.

I don't plan on moding my S5 though, aside from the few vagcom codes I've already changed.

*edit: typo

Thanks for the NAmotorsports link, I had not come across that one in my initial search... Q: Was you car lowered? Is it general knowledge that- all other things equal; the Rieger kit rides lower than Caractare??

DavidRS4- Big Break is definitely on the list

I've used LLTEK for years and have nothing but great things to say about them. To be honest, NAM was so cheap, I was a bit reluctant to order. I took a risk and went for the cheap buy.

I was really worried about receiving a fake kit (there are SO many made in Eastern Europe) but it was 100% original Caractere - and i should know, I've installed a bunch.
