Did They Make The BEST Looking Audi A5 Or Did They Screw Up A Gorgeous Ride?

There is a huge market for modifications to almost every car, just look at the SEMA show. But do these companies improve the designs or do they mess up a good thing?

Arguably, the prettiest coupe on the market (Audi A5) has been modified by the aftermarket company Rieger.

Have they made it better or worse?

Is this a STUD or a DUD?

YOU make the call!

Is this headline a joke? The tuners screwed up another great looking car. The tuning community needs to learn that less is more. And the Lambo doors are just tacky and pointless.

It looks okay until you open the doors.

I think it looks well, they didn't screw up the original lines of the vehicle and the overall appearance. They did make the car look muscular and sportier by lowering the ride height and the lower valances, but the doors got to go. Lambo doors needs to stay on Lamborghini's

Screw Up. everything does not need lambo style doors to be cool, and they should have given the rear skirt the carbon fiber/ paint job & not all 1 color... Ferrari F430 style.

excellent show car and head turner on the street!! definitely not for factory car lovers...i'm sure this has some performance mods as well!!

this is a classic example of a car that would make bill o'reilly types cringe!

Its silly looking. The mono paint job is last century. The nose blurs the unique Audi design to something generic. The rear diffuser looks tacked on. Same for the side skirts. The car is too low for street use. And I won't even mention the doors. Very, very few tuner cars actually look better than the production models.

If they took the lambo doors off and changed the wheels, it would look much better...less is more.

Boring from the factory, so almost any modification is an improvement.

Audi A5 looks tough, but get rid of the Lambo doors. That is so gimicky just like that Mercedes SLK gullwing concept POS. German cars weren't meant for boy racers.

No Agent001. You screwed it up. That's an S5 and not an A5. LOL!!. Front is stock. Everything else looks like normal Rieger quality. *cough*

lambo doors BLAH, doors closed okay. Ignoring the fact the rims are white, at an angle look good, but straight on close up. bleh! But ... white rims ... not sold on it.
