That's a tool for a flymo, the orange one. For changing the spacers for the blade.

Having different sized tyres on one side to the other "could" make the diff work harder than it should and you could be in for a massive bill for a new diff if you continue running the wheels in that configuration.

Hi mate, great vid. I’ve owned an A5 and now an RS5 so I know a bit about these cars. 1) the flat bottom wheel is an upgrade from a facelift S5 (value £500). The OEM one is round. 2) the curved plastic piece you found near the spare wheel is to cover the boot hinge. 3) you can probably get the window surrounds re-wrapped black for approx £250. 4) I would swap the wider tyres to the rear 👍🏻. Lovely cars but I think the mileage, tax and general running costs may put some ppl off. £7.5k all day imo 😄

These ex chav Audis have always been thrashed and cost a fortune in maintenance and engine repairs. Upholstery does hold up well.

Oh you do spoil us! 👌🏻 On a Porsche the brown leather is a very costly & rare option. I think the 285/30’s are clearly meant to be on the rear. It’s hardly modified, if anything that exhaust will just let the engine breathe with ease. Looks like it’s been well looked after. I would definitely sort the red out on the wheels but keeping costs down. These reviews of cars that come in are a good job! 👍🏻

Really like this. I'd probably do the wheels Gloss Anthracite, remove the decals and paint the calipers dark red to match the interior. I've always found that modified car owners (mostly) look after their cars, nobody's going to spend thousands on mods then not look after them.

you can run a staggered setup on an AWD in small increments example 215/40/18 front and 225/40/18 rear, there are ,many calculations you can do to keep the overall diameter the same but the rim has to be the same size some guys go as far 8.0 wide front and 8.5 rear and still maintain the same overall diameter. its all in the maths. The rule is to have a small variance between the overall front and rear diameter of your wheel (including the tire)

Great looking and sounding thing. Th only minor thing that I would like to modify would be to do the wing mirrors all black. I can see it as your daily driver though with Berrow V8 Motors sign all over the car for that section of your business! Enjoyable video. Was convinced you were going to stick your OBDEleven in it though somewhere during the video (assuming it can take it)!

That needs a good de-chav, silver trim, lose the red stripe and paint the wheels silver, will look so much more appealing.

The tyre situation, I would say it has had a puncture on the front, the space saver may not fit the front, Hence why one of the wider rear tyres were put on the front, the space saver on the rear. Then someone else just put the wheel where the space saver was on the rear.

I think one of the previous owner has looked after that car. Would Audi not have any service history on their system for the vehicle? Great Video and content.
