What chrome is left on an Audi RS5?
Not much, and what there is depends on the year and how the car was ordered. Audi’s 2020 RS5 exterior notes give the radiator grille’s three-dimensional honeycomb a gloss black design, so the biggest piece of trim on the nose is already dark.
| RS5 | What Audi describes | Typically left to cover |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 to 2024 Coupe and Sportback | Gloss black honeycomb grille; three styling packages (gloss black, matt aluminium, carbon) for the mirror housings, front blade, intake struts, sill strips, spoiler lip, diffuser bracket, rings and RS logos | Rings and logos if yours are bright, plus any window trim your photos show |
| 2026 Sedan and Avant | Black package standard: window trim, door handle inserts and RS badges in gloss black, rings darkened | Little or nothing |
Audi’s 2020 styling list doesn’t include window trim, so whether your RS5’s window surrounds are bright depends on how it was specified. Photos settle it before anything is quoted.
Which of the shop’s chrome delete levels suits an RS5?
Usually the front-and-rear level, sometimes with window trim added. The shop sells three levels, each building on the one before.
Window trim
The surrounds on the side glass and along the belt line, if your RS5 has bright ones. On a Coupe that’s the two doors and the windows behind them; a Sportback adds the rear doors.
Front and rear
The rings, the RS badges and bumper trim. Badges come off the car where they can, so the vinyl wraps the whole piece and no edge shows; badge blackouts explain the process. Tailpipes aren’t part of it: the 2020 RS5’s exhaust “terminates in oval, chrome colored tailpipes on both sides,” per Audi’s 2020 RS5 release, and the shop covers tips only where they’re chrome-plated plastic.
Full blackout
Everything above, plus door handles, mirror caps and any remaining brightwork. On an RS5 with the matt aluminium styling package, the mirror housings, blade and struts are where this level earns its keep.
Why does the 2026 RS5 need so little?
Audi blacked it out at the factory. Its February 2026 release says a black package is standard, so the window trim, door handle inserts and RS badges are always gloss black and the rings are always darkened. The blades, side-skirt inserts and diffuser are gloss black too, and the tailpipes are matte.
If you own one, a chrome delete has almost nothing to do. The next step for a different look is a colour change, which the RS5 wrap page covers.
Can you chrome delete a leased RS5?
Yes, because vinyl comes off. Cast film is removed with heat before the car goes back, and the original trim underneath is untouched. Check your lease terms first; chrome deleting a leased car sets out what to ask.
How do you book an RS5 chrome delete in Langley?
Send close photos of the grille and rings, the window surrounds, the mirrors and the rear badges, with the year, the body and any styling package. The shop quotes per car and lists exactly what’s included.
Your RS5’s vinyl comes with the 5-year warranty in the shop’s published terms. A touchless wash is fine after a week; aim pressure washers away from the edges. Use the RS5 chrome delete quote form or call 604 534 6433. Booking the glass too? Audi RS5 window tint has the price for each body.
