Picked it up last week. Highly delighted with it. Will be glad once past the bedding down period. Will share further thoughts when I get a few more miles on the clock. November is a rotten time to pick up a new car with early darkness and filthy roads

Silly question but where do the fog lights go on this model assuming the hole in your front right vent is your adaptive cruise control radar.

No front foglights on the RS5. I have to say I so rarely used them it is not an issue for me.

That's gorgeous. Well done. Great colour as well. I suspect my S5's days are now numbered.
I read that there's no fogs because the grills channels air on to the brakes. Hence no room for the fogs. Like you said though, how often are they really used.
