Product Description
Transform your first‑generation Audi A5, S5 or RS5 (B8 / B8.5, 2009‑2016) with a genuine carbon fiber upgrade – our real dry carbon mirror caps. The B8 A5 introduced Audi’s iconic coupe design language, and the B8.5 facelift sharpened the look even further. Unlike cheap stick‑on ABS covers that cheapen the appearance, our caps are real prepreg dry carbon – autoclave‑cured, CNC‑trimmed, and finished with a double‑layer UV‑resistant clear coat. The result is a brilliant 2x2 twill weave that perfectly complements the A5’s timeless silhouette.
Why choose real carbon over plastic imitations?
Real carbon doesn’t fade, yellow, or warp under the sun. It’s stronger, lighter, and truly elevates the premium character of your A5, S5 or RS5. Our caps directly replace the original mirror housings – no tape, no drilling, no bulky “shells”. Just a perfect OEM‑plus fit that looks factory‑optional.
We engineered these caps using 3D scanning of original B8 and B8.5 mirror housings. Important: The mirror cap design is identical across both pre‑facelift (B8, 2009‑2012) and facelift (B8.5, 2013‑2016) models – our cap fits both generations without issue. Whether you drive a daily A5, the sporty S5, or the high‑performance RS5 (coupe, sportback, or cabriolet), this 5‑minute upgrade delivers instant visual impact and lasting durability.

5 Key Features
1. Genuine Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Construction
Made from high‑grade prepreg carbon fiber with a consistent 2x2 twill weave. Autoclave‑cured and CNC‑trimmed for perfect edges. No fiberglass backing, no hydro‑dipping – this is the real material used by supercars and the Audi exclusive program. Each cap weighs approximately 55g (OEM plastic is ~85g), reducing unsprung weight while providing superior rigidity.
2. OEM‑Grade Precision Fitment for B8 & B8.5 (2009‑2016)
We scanned original B8 and B8.5 mirror housings to create CAD‑perfect molds. The caps snap directly onto your factory mirror base using the original clips – no modifications, no adhesives. Every set is test‑fitted on a genuine B8/B8.5 mirror jig before packing. The side assist version includes an exact cutout for the LED warning light (located on the outer edge of the mirror cap). Note: Fits all 2009‑2016 A5, S5, and RS5 – including Coupe, Sportback, and Cabriolet body styles, both pre‑facelift and facelift.
3. UV‑Resistant High‑Gloss Clear Coat (No Yellowing)
Sun exposure is the #1 killer of aftermarket carbon parts. Our caps are coated with a double‑layer automotive‑grade clear coat that blocks UV rays, preventing the yellowing, fading, or micro‑cracking that plagues cheap alternatives. The high‑gloss finish remains showroom‑bright even after years of sun, rain, and road salt. A matte finish option is also available for a stealthy, sporty look.
4. Lightweight & Aerodynamic Benefit
Reducing unsprung and rotational mass – even by a few grams – contributes to sharper steering response and reduced wind noise at highway speeds. The smooth carbon surface also reduces turbulence around the side mirrors, slightly improving high‑speed stability – a welcome benefit for spirited driving. Every gram saved adds to the agile handling of your A5.
5. Plug‑and‑Play Installation – 5 Minute DIY
No special tools, no drilling, no permanent modifications. Simply use a plastic trim tool (or your fingers) to gently pry the original mirror cap from the bottom edge, release the clips, and pop it off. Then align our carbon cap with the factory mounting points and press firmly until you hear the clicks.
*Note: B8/B8.5 mirror caps are among the easiest to replace on any Audi – even a first‑time DIYer can do it.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will these fit my 2012 Audi A5 Coupe (B8 pre‑facelift)?
A: Yes, all 2009‑2016 B8 and B8.5 models share the same mirror cap shape.
Q2: Will they fit a 2015 Audi RS5 (B8.5 facelift)?
A: Yes. The mirror cap design did not change between B8 and B8.5.
Q3: Are these real carbon fiber or fake plastic?
A: Real. Genuine prepreg dry carbon with 2x2 twill weave, autoclave cured. No ABS, no hydro‑dipping, no “carbon look”. Forged carbon and matte finishes are also available.
Q4: How do I know if my A5 has side assist (blind‑spot warning)?
A: Look at your existing mirror cap. If there is a small rectangular cutout or a clear plastic window on the outer edge (facing the rear of the car), you have side assist. If the cap is solid with no cutout, select “Without Side Assist”. Email us a photo if unsure.
Q5: Will these interfere with the folding mirrors or side assist LED?
A: No. Our caps are designed with precise cutouts for the side assist LED (if ordered correctly). Folding mirrors operate normally.
Q6: Do you offer matte carbon?
A: Yes. Matte dry carbon is available as a made‑to‑order option (lead time 7‑12 days). Select “Matte Dry Carbon” from the variant dropdown.
