• Facelift Bridge: B9-platform A5/S5 upgraded forward to B9.5 RS5 front-end styling with ACC preservation
• Raw Material: PP+EPDM thermoplastic — the EPDM rubber phase provides built-in impact elasticity at the molecular level
• Box Inventory: Bumper shell, radar-compatible center grille, side duct mesh, and front lip spoiler panel
• Application Years: 2017–2019 Audi A5 / S5 (B9 chassis, Coupe and Sportback)
• Radar Provision: Dedicated ACC pass-through with no metallic pigments in the mesh zone for unimpeded 77 GHz signal transmission

Product Overview

This kit is a generation skip — it grafts the B9.5 RS5's sharper, more angular front architecture onto the earlier B9 platform so you get the newest look without buying a newer car. The most noticeable change is the side-duct treatment: the B9's simple horizontal intakes are replaced by the B9.5's multi-element design with a central divider bar that splits each duct into upper and lower chambers. The grille hexagon receives the updated wider cell pitch, and the front lip adopts the facelift's more pronounced forward jut.

Key Features & Build Quality

• PP+EPDM Impact Elasticity: The rubber phase dispersed throughout the polypropylene matrix gives the bumper a built-in spring-back property — minor impacts deform and recover, they don't fracture.
• B9.5 Split-Duct Geometry: Each side intake is bisected by a horizontal bar that mimics the B9.5 RS5's cooling module architecture, adding a layered depth effect to the front corners.
• Non-Metallic ACC Zone: The honeycomb section directly in front of the radar sensor is formed from un-pigmented, non-conductive ABS to guarantee zero radar reflection or absorption.
• Pronounced Lip Jut: The front lip extends forward 12 mm farther than the B9 RS5 profile, matching the B9.5's more aggressive lower overhang.

Vehicle Fitment & Compatibility

• Purpose-built for 2017, 2018, and 2019 Audi A5 and S5 (B9 platform, Coupe and Sportback).
• Vehicles with ACC retain full adaptive cruise functionality after installation; radar calibration is recommended post-swap.

Body Shop & Paint Prep Notes

• The PP+EPDM surface has a slightly waxy feel out of the mold — use a dedicated PP degreaser with a dwell time of at least 60 seconds before sanding.
• Mask the non-metallic ACC zone carefully during painting; even a thin coat of metallic basecoat will attenuate the radar signal.

Vehicle Fitment and Compatibility

• ✅ Compatible: 2017-2019 Audi A5
• ❌ Incompatible: B8 (2008-2011) / B8.5 (2012-2016) / B9.5 (2020-2024)
