Product Description

Elevate your Audi R8 MK2 (Gen 2, 2015‑2019) with a true supercar‑grade carbon fiber upgrade – our genuine dry carbon mirror caps. Unlike cheap stick‑on ABS covers that look out of place on a mid‑engine masterpiece, these 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 matches the factory carbon package of the R8 V10 performance, adding lightweight, race‑inspired aggression to your supercar.

Why choose real carbon over plastic imitations?
Real carbon doesn’t fade, yellow, or warp under the sun. It’s stronger, lighter, and truly complements the high‑exotic character of your R8. Our caps directly replace the original mirror housings – no tape, no drilling, no bulky “shells”. Just a perfect OEM‑plus fit that looks like it came from the factory.

We engineered these caps using 3D scanning of original MK2 R8 mirror housings (2015‑2019). The second‑generation R8 (Type 4S) has a unique, aerodynamic mirror shape that differs from the MK1. Our molds replicate every clip and contour precisely for a gap‑free installation. Whether you drive a V10, V10 plus, or V10 performance, 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 supercar manufacturers. Each cap weighs approximately 60g (OEM plastic is ~90g), reducing unsprung weight while providing superior rigidity – every gram counts on a supercar.

2. OEM‑Grade Precision Fitment for MK2 R8 (2015‑2019)

We scanned original 2015‑2019 R8 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 MK2 mirror jig before packing. Lane assist versions (rare on R8, but available in some markets) include an exact cutout for the blind‑spot camera or sensor window.

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 track use. A matte finish option is also available for a stealthy, OEM‑plus look.

4. Aerodynamic & Lightweight Advantage

Reducing unsprung and rotational mass – even by a few grams – contributes to sharper steering response and reduced wind noise at high speeds. The smooth carbon surface also reduces turbulence around the side mirrors, slightly improving high‑speed stability – a meaningful benefit on the Autobahn or track. Every gram saved adds to the legendary driving dynamics of your R8.

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. A video installation guide is included via QR code. Note: R8 mirror caps are among the easiest to replace – even a first‑time DIYer can do it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will these fit my 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus?
A: Yes, all 2015‑2019 MK2 R8 models (V10, V10 plus, V10 performance, Spyder) share the same mirror cap shape.

Q2: Will they fit a 2021 R8 (facelift)?
A: No. The 2020+ facelift MK2 has revised mirror housings. We offer a separate version for 2020+ models – please check our store or contact us.

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: Does my R8 have lane assist on the mirrors?
A: Most R8s do not have mirror‑mounted lane assist. However, some markets (e.g., Europe with the “Assistance Package”) include a blind‑spot warning light in the mirror housing. Check your original cap – if there is a small cutout or transparent window on the outer edge, select “With Lane Assist”. Otherwise, select “Without”. Email us a photo if unsure.

Q5: Will these interfere with the folding mirrors or side cameras?
A: No. The R8’s folding mirror mechanism is unaffected. Side cameras (if equipped) are located in the lower housing, not the cap.

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.
