Thanks for the pictures! the wheels look so boring comparing to the 2008 model. I guess that's the reason of the new F-sport wheels.

I love the wheels! They look like X pack wheels. Nothing beats a traditional 5 spoke mag. These will be easy to clean.

They look very cluttered...like there is too much going on inside the housing. The blacked out housing helps though.

the blackout look for the headlights give it a nice touch (stock), but i dont really mind the addition. from the previous pics, it flows nicely with the other things added on the front bumper.

btw, are the mirror auto folding now?

I don't like the 2 vents on the lower grille. I saw the 2011 yesterday at Longo Lexus. The vents just don't look right. IMO

Not a fan of the headlights, I'll stick with my AFS. Yea, front bumper is not so cool either. It has a big nose!

I like the headlights. For the LEDs it looks like it's more of a Nike swoosh than what Audi does I think. The front bumper looks better with the F-Sport package. The wheels do look like the X-Package wheels.

honestly, u don't like the audi lights in a longterm view because i see a lot of them on audi's that have one side working and the other not. makes it look weird... i'm guessing they go out fast
