Nice. Loving your build so far. I want to put spacers on for flush but like you I wonder how it will effect the AWS.

Hey and thx!

I used to love spacers and have used them on a dozen cars...i don't think it would make much difference as long as the spacer is like an 8-10 mm. I worry about the addt'l weight beyond that. And with the AWS - i kinda don't want to mess with anything they can say affected it if it goes bad.

I ordered them from Alex at Europrice. He did not have them listed until I asked. They def make a subtle yet distinct difference. Worth the price.

Thank you

I emailed Alex for a quote, I am going to install them on my Q7 if he can supply them.
Who installed them for you?

I had a local Audi shop Achtuning (they also own Hartmann Wheels) do the install as they have done work on my other Audis. 500 for install. But I think if you are handy and have tools and space, its not hard. They confirmed its is a direct swap/bolt on.

I just realized you are in Seattle when you said you went achtuning. I am as well. Achtuning did my stg 2 on my previous Q. Great shop.

For Christmas to myself...trying to decide between a flat bottom steering wheel or paint my calipers? I had the calipers done gloss black on my A6 Allroad...but wondering what color I should do on a Mythos black? Gloss black to keep it low key...or? I know i don't want yellow...red? blue? silver?

If it was mine i would go gloss black. Unless you're going to add the brake caliper color as an accent on other locations anything but black wouldn't look good imo...

I did mines torch red on the previous Q.Really loved it, it's just classic contrasting.

I also did a flat bottom steering wheel...lost the heated steering wheel function but It had looked great!
