First trip was to alloy fix to change the alloy and calliper colour, then plenty more to get through. Shame about the flatbottom steering wheel, but i'm sure we can solve that in a future video.

The video follows Mat Armstrong as he tackles a planned set of modifications for his Audi S5, building on a recent refurbishment of the car’s alloys. He opens with a quick mention of the upcoming changes and credits a sponsor, then dives into detailing the sequence of upgrades. The first major phase involves dechroming the exterior trim, starting with the chrome on the door and quarter panels. He walks through basic prep steps, such as ensuring surfaces are clean and dry, applying a black wrap, and using heat to carefully seal the wrap along seals and edges. The segment emphasizes the practical, non-professional approach, noting that the process is doable at home but not a formal tutorial, with a focus on avoiding damage to paint and trim. The wrap result transforms the vehicle’s look and sets the stage for further modifications without a full repaint. By this point, the plan also includes addressing calipers, wheels, spacers, and a stylized number plate to add personal flair to the S5. The overall takeaway from this portion is that measured, iterative changes can dramatically alter aesthetics while keeping the car’s original character intact.
