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.
I would remove the red side decals, Get the wheels powder coated in a nice dark graphite and put a chrome Audi oooo grille badge back on to break the black up a bit IMO.
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 😄
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! 👍🏻
Wicked value for money, me personally would do the alloys in silver to go with the mirrors & get the trims back in silver but keep the little kit and get rid of that spoiler and just put a lip one on make it oem+. Great video though loving the drone shots keep it up!
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)!
Why one key, maybe a tracker fitted, take it back later.? Who puts a car into auction needing 1 1/2 litres of oil, because its drinking the stuff.? is it actualy tobacco or happy weed.? Do a simple obd 11 check. Oil trace in the water,, drained and changed for sale purposes maybe ?
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)
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.
It's a great-looking car and something I would own. Even the auctioneer, knew it was you buying it, as he said "Yours Joe" ♥ I think he may be a fan. 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.
Hi Joe. You found the perfect Boy Racer Wagon, lol. You will make a few quid with it. I have never seen tyres like that before, one side is wider, lol. Crazy 🤪. Great video again, Joe. 💯👏👏👏🇮🇪
I’d have it. Sounds mint.Keep the wheels as they are knock a couple of hundred quid off for the new owner. It’s not over the top modded but the £735 road tax is a no go for many.
I love this car I’m not normally a fan of black wheels. But the red. Makes it pop. My Brother had exactly the same car but black interior and silver wheels didn’t look as good as this
Can I I ask , what’s the difference between the HPI checks you recommend over Car vertical?,yours is about a third of the cost and I can’t see much difference in what’s offered
You’ve got a lot of good comments. My only concern is you sell it. You must put some sort of guarantee on it and they bring it back with an engine blown.! Good luck with that one ! Love the sound of it keep the videos coming 👍👍
On.y thought I had was it’s 14 years old. Plenty will go wrong quite quickly. No chance of insuring it for those that it’s good as it’s modified and why exactly is it in an auction?
This is quality, A-Team vibes. I'd want the wing mirrors in black, sort the tyre's out and it's good to go. Shame the road tax and insurance will kill the fun
I’d hold back on the red inside wheels, some may actually like it a lot. Those that don’t just use as a discount and either change your self or some money off. But I’m guessing who ever buys it will keep it as it is. Loving the the interesting cars now
Someone will like it, I rather cars left as standard or maybe subtle mods. I like the seats, had brown in an SLK previously sounds awful actually great, sounds bloody awesome though
Someone really got carried away with the bolt on goodies. Probably invested a lot into making it, only to devalue the resale amount. Still, you got it for a reasonable price as a result.
A5 is indeed a dogs dinner. So why do I like it. Like stock stock stock. Wheels look great. Can deal with decals down side. Like Joe. Wouldn’t drive myself. Unsure if would be want to sell as could attract wrong type buyer. But it looks well.
The tyres were probably put on by mistake and easily missed I guess, but seems someone took some pride owning it and made it theirs. Not to everyone's taste but at least they enjoyed their car and in a sea of dreary grey SUVs it's quite cool I think.
Those seats must have been stained/dyed somehow. I've only ever seen Black, silver or two tone red/black or silver/ black, all finished in leather, in an S5 (B8 or B8.5)

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.
These ex chav Audis have always been thrashed and cost a fortune in maintenance and engine repairs. Upholstery does hold up well.
And most customers know this so it needs a good de-chav first
I actually quite like the red back of the rims, but I think I'd try and get rid of the go faster stripes.

I'd be taking those tyres off, dealer put them on my A5 and when it rained, it was like driving on ice.
That orange tool looks exactly like one for taking the blades off, and adjusting the cutting height of a Flymo
Wicked value for money, me personally would do the alloys in silver to go with the mirrors & get the trims back in silver but keep the little kit and get rid of that spoiler and just put a lip one on make it oem+. Great video though loving the drone shots keep it up!
Hope I'm wrong Joe but this will make a great 2nd video entitled "They brought it back!" 😂
take the silly graphics off looks a nice car (i love it)
100% agree re red graphics. Totally spoil the car.
Just spray the wheel barrels in gloss black for £10 for a spray can. No need to refurb the wheels at £300+.
13:58 pretty sure that’s a lawn mower spanner for changing the cutting blade🤣😂😅

Great video of a great car. Most buy/sell videos on YT are just 'safer' standard cars. I found this video very intriguing.

That needs a good de-chav, silver trim, lose the red stripe and paint the wheels silver, will look so much more appealing.
For me red wheels and decals gotta go. Mirror caps need to be body coloured too. I'd also either go proper red interior or dye em black. 😊

It just displays the auctioneer the bidders name and they confirm it at hammer down lol

Spot on - chavvy
It’s illegal any way odd size tyres on the same axle mot failure
Call the cops hahaha
Looks cool Joe. Lose the red stripes. Doubt it’ll hang around
Love that just as it is - get the wheels on the back though can’t believe you got it for 4k
Personally leave as it is 🤣
The Orange tool is for a Flymo lol
You’ve got a lot of good comments. My only concern is you sell it. You must put some sort of guarantee on it and they bring it back with an engine blown.! Good luck with that one ! Love the sound of it keep the videos coming 👍👍
Drug dealer spec😂
I love the car.
These videos are great.
I'm in love. Great video and a proper motor! Driving a piece of history. Sadly they will soon tax us off the road unless we are leccy! Cheers Joe.
i'm sure the little orange tool in the boot is from a flymo lawnmower!
It is 😂
Adjustable suspension
@DaleSteel It's not a coilover spanner, it's for removing the blade on a flymo. I have one in my shed.
A nice car, but I thought what was cool was at 4:55 and 5:02 - It's yours Joe !
Currently looking for a newer car myself and vehicle for score is great, im really impressed with it and its saved me from getting a pup already
That is one really cool looking car, it sounds amazing too.
I think I would prefer the factory wheels though.
Great video Joe❤.
Joe. The one big drawback with this motor is the road tax
And it's hard to work on
Must have adjustable suspension that orange tool in boot looks like the adjuster
It a Flymo mower tool for removing the blade .
On.y thought I had was it’s 14 years old. Plenty will go wrong quite quickly.
No chance of insuring it for those that it’s good as it’s modified and why exactly is it in an auction?
I say keep it as it is looks absolutely fine👍
How much for a Gram of the devils dandruff 😂
To make this a fab car , take the red stripes off, Graphite wheels and sort the black chrome out. Cheers matey.
I think you got a bargain there mate ,as you said a bit chavvy but what a sound it makes ,hope you get a good deal on it 👍
This is quality, A-Team vibes. I'd want the wing mirrors in black, sort the tyre's out and it's good to go. Shame the road tax and insurance will kill the fun
Audi had a period of putting wider wheels on front to help stop understeer. I had a rs3 like that
Correct me if I'm wrong but different sized tyres on the same axle is an MOT fail?
As you say, the red on the wheels matches well with the red flash along the side.
I’d hold back on the red inside wheels, some may actually like it a lot. Those that don’t just use as a discount and either change your self or some money off. But I’m guessing who ever buys it will keep it as it is. Loving the the interesting cars now
I have to say Im not a fan of newer Audi's but that is nice especially with the black wheels and red stripes 👍
Someone will like it, I rather cars left as standard or maybe subtle mods.

Bloody love it don’t paint the wheels they look well smart - gives me some ideas for my Black A5
Typical Street Pharmacist home delivery car. 🌿
They even put harm in the name.
It’s probably to even the tyre wear why the wheels have been swapped which means it’s not tracking correct.
That orange tool is for a flymo lawnmower to change the blade
Definitely a car for Weston, it would sound great going up cheddar gorge
Dated reply
Love the red interior of wheels.
Hate the red lines.
100000% need to remove the bonnet dents.
Wheels and tyres should be same size on each axle....if its different sizes on the same axle, thats a mot fail....wider wheels always to the rear.
A5 is indeed a dogs dinner. So why do I like it. Like stock stock stock. Wheels look great. Can deal with decals down side. Like Joe. Wouldn’t drive myself. Unsure if would be want to sell as could attract wrong type buyer. But it looks well.

I like these but the engines break continually and just for fun. Friend had one and Jesus the continual flair bills were massive and never ending. 😞
I love it - not my taste but having been a seller/salesman - it wont be with you long!
Too blingy for me, I much prefer the RS5. (I'd be interested to see a video about the A7 you've got coming too).
What did it sell for I’d have it if I had the money
I do quite like the red on the inner wheels. Not something I've seen before, but yeah looks ok. Not too much "in ya face". And I'm a grandpa, eek!
Fantastic car, great sound
Hi joe brilliant car plenty of power
Roadex tyres….says it all.
That would be a good feel good raffle car wouldn’t it Joe ?
Put the wheels all black and get the red gone. Your next engine has to be W12
Bentley Continental GTs are getting cheap these days!
@@ShiftingMetal You might find a VW Phaeton W12 for sub £10k at auction
Should sell quick Joe just not my cup of tea. Sounds amazing though.
Is it fully loaded my mate
Marketing this to anyone called Gary on your mailing list should get this one off your hands.
why do you buy before you vehicle check
David Hasselhoff in that car... 80's vibe.
Not for me this one too messed with
But good luck👍
It dose look like someone can't stretch to a R8 as the benefits are tight 😅
Was kind of expecting used weed bags in the boots to be fair. It is however a very nice car and to get that at just 4k is an absolute bargain. Wow
Those seats must have been stained/dyed somehow.
I've only ever seen Black, silver or two tone red/black or silver/ black, all finished in leather, in an S5 (B8 or B8.5)
Do you get young chaps with leather man bags, smoking suspiciously large cigarettes following you round 😅
Joe no way did you wear matching trainers, to the car 🙂
Nice looking car and great sound..good buy.
I like it. Sounds awesome 😎👍🏻
I would get rid of the red stripe definitely
This car’s got standard SE front bumper - was probably involved in a bump and the owner was too stingy to fork out for an S5 bumper.
Tyre nothing to do with the rear , spacers on rear one side for sure .
Front Bumper it’s not from this car:D it’s non sline bumper, standard version:D
Great video again nice car but not for me I’m sure many will
Nice German car Joe very cheap I think for a nice Audi keep it up son
Does sound very nice! A V8 is an itch I need to scratch one day…
Why would you pay 8k for the chav mobile
Looks like its been de-catted looking at the exhaust pipes.
Get rid of the red inner wheel decor! 👍
37:44 WTF is that??!! Is it a giant moth that's escaped from Joe's wallet 😂
I caught it again, it's safely back in the wallet! 😂
🤣
That tax amount is disgusting. The tyrants are forcing cars off the road and we just keep putting up with this BS.
Lower cost tax cars exist in plenty, many many performance cars too
i think you have bought a nice car there , keep the good work up .
i have entered the competition but if i win can you sell the car on and give the money to jack please .
Very kind, of course!
