paint the front trim on the S5 bumper flat black, it looks SOOOOOOO good on S4 converted cars!! much better than having it not match the body. i liked it SO much better on mine once i painted the trim section to match my black trim. would look especially good on your car w/ black wheels which look great!!

Thanks for the compliments guys...the wheels are Fikse FM10s you can go to their site at www.fikse.com and read all about them. As far as the fenders are concerned the only difference is the trim pieces which I am going to purchase. I believe the S5 trim forward of the front wheel is like $25 a piece. I'm goin to buy that and have it painted and see if it sticks out. If it does it looks like I'll have to do the rest of the car with S5 trim.

Someone please tell me what I could have done to post the pics instead of posting links.

Thanks

phinsn98, where can I get the small front lip for my series 5. Not the whole bumper, just the piece of plastic under it.
Thanks,
Dave

Not really, since the S4's never had fog lights. The proper way to do it would be to run the fog lights directly off the battery via a 15A fuse and a 30A automotive relay. How you activate the relay depends on how you want them to run:

- If you want them on all the time, wire the relay to the ignition.

- If you want to manually switch them on and off, wire the relay to the ignition via a cabin switch.

- If you want them to come on with the parking lights, wire the relay to one of the front park lights.

- If you want them to come on with the parking lights but still be switchable (best option), wire the relay to the park light circuit via a cabin switch.

A buddy of mine is trying to un-load a FULL set of series 5 trim and rear bumper (front bumper is gone) PM me your offers! BTW.. its all factory black.. and the rear bumper has some minor scratches that a body shop can fix.
