Audi A5 side skirts: the profile line finally grounded
These Audi A5 side skirt extensions stick under the original side skirts and extend the bodywork towards the ground along the entire wheelbase. Designed for 2017 to 2022 models, they are available in two kit lengths: one for the 2-door A5 Coupé, one for the 4-door A5 Sportback, at the same price.
Why add aftermarket side skirts
- Lowered profile silhouette: this is the angle where the A5 gains the most, the beltline appears tighter.
- Three finishes: carbon look with woven texture, discreet matte black or gloss black matching the exterior package.
- Molded ABS: the slightly flexible blade accepts the curvature of the side skirt without strain.
- Multi-piece kit: the length is divided between several elements, which are easier to align than a single-piece blade.
- Side skirt protection: gravel projections hit the added part, not the paint.
- Two body styles covered: two-door coupé and five-door Sportback, each with its dedicated length.
Side skirts, side skirts, extensions: the same family of parts
An aftermarket side skirt, also referred to as side skirts, sill extension or side add-on, is a blade stuck under the original skirt. It does not replace the skirt: it extends it a few centimeters downwards. On an Audi A5 Sportback, the effect is that of an S line package taken a step further; on an A5 Coupé, it visually elongates an already low silhouette. For a cohesive look, it naturally pairs with a front lip and a rear diffuser of the same finish.

Installation and maintenance
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for both sides. Wash then degrease the side skirt with isopropyl alcohol, dry fit each segment and mark the installation line with masking tape: this marking guarantees the symmetry between the left and right. Then stick it starting from the front. Work above 15 °C and leave 24 hours before the first wash. Compatibility should be checked according to the version and bodywork before installation.
Frequently asked questions
How to choose between version 1 and version 2?
The two versions correspond to the two kit lengths, one for the 2-door Coupé, the other for the 4-door Sportback. Specify your body style in the order note and we will ship the appropriate length.
Do you need to remove the original skirt?
No. The extension sticks underneath, the original skirt remains in place.
Do the side skirts rub on the curbs?
They only go down a few centimeters and remain recessed from the wheel. On a stock A5, parallel parking is not a problem.
Which finish to choose for a white car?
Matte black creates the sharpest contrast; the carbon look adds depth without a block effect; gloss black matches the tone of the S line inserts.
Is the installation reversible?
Yes, by gently heating the adhesive then removing the residues with a sticky remover, without damaging the paint.
Give your A5 the profile it is missing: two hours of installation, no skirt removal, and the car looks like it is sitting ten millimeters lower.
